Final Year Project
Project Title
Agent-Based Simulation of Urban Residential Dynamics and Land Rent Change In Certain Neigborhoods of Karachi
Description
The aim of my project is to explore the gentrification patterns emerging in an urban setting, explained through micro-level decisions. The model of my project will provide urban planners to evaluate the existing structures better, and make more informed decisions in their policies & investments. The main features of this project are: 1. Identifying the patterns of gentrification and relocation to inform an exploratory agent-based social simulation model. 2. Test the impact of Urban planning policies and Public & Private investments in causing gentrification in Karachi.
