Emerging urban futures and opportunte repertoires of individual adaptation

This paper summarizes the goals and scope of a new large scale research project, funded by the EEC.The ultimate goal of this research project is to develop the first comprehensive model of dynamic activity-travel patterns in the world, expanding and integrating concepts and partial approaches that have been suggested over the last few years. Dynamics pertain to different time horizons. Long-term decisions such as demographic change, changing job or house may also prompt or force people to adapt their activity-travel patterns.
