Day 1 -
UrbanSim Training Session
Paul Waddell led a visual demonstration of the latest
UrbanSim stable release 4.2.2 using the GUI - we recorded the audio and screen activity, it can be viewed here. Note thought the quality is low, and the audio will need to be turned up nearly all the way.
Day 2 -
UrbanSim Users Experiences
The day began with a roundtable opportunity for every user agency to discuss their recent
UrbanSim experiences, current work efforts, problems they've encountered and improvements they have identified, either as a high priority or a longer-term 'wish list' item. The afternoon transitioned to a series of Focus Presentations on particular aspects of the
UrbanSim model, providing a high level of detail on how the models operate and specific challenges that have been encountered to date. The presentation files are provided below.
