In this paper, we use census tract data to analyse changes in neighbourhood income inequality and residential economic segregation in the eight largest Canadian cities during the 1980-95 period. Is the income gap between richer and poorer neighbourhoods rising? Are high and low-income families increasingly clustered in economically homogeneous neighbourhoods? The main results are an elaboration...

Informational cities are prototypical cities of the knowledge society. If they are informational world cities, they are new centers of power. According to Manuel Castells (1989), in those cities space of flows (flows of money, power, and information) tend to override space of places. Information and communication technology infrastructures, cognitive infrastructures (as groundwork of knowledge ...

Currently, there are a large number of traffic simulation frameworks available. Usually, the principle of these simulation frameworks is to move vehicles from some location A to some location B as the result of different equations of motion or fluid dynamics. As it is, reality is much more complex because what actually happens between A and B is highly determined by the preferences and attitude...

Intellectualization is the basis for managing Smart Cities. This involves infrastructure development and design of vehicles equipped with intelligent modules, which provide the control ability. Along with it, the transition to “green”, safe and sustainable modes of transport, such as bicycle, should be realized. The widespread use of environmentally friendly bicycles is constrained by a number ...

The research community tackling agents and multiagent systems has studied and developed various agents. Typically, personal agents belong to humans and help their users to operate complex computer/communication systems. In the area of multiagent systems, though computational agents are designed to interact (both collaborate and compete) with each other, interaction among humans and software age...

Cities are centers of technology-based transformations and play pivotal role in economic procedures. Moreover, cities are the social, cultural pivots and center for political challenges either in peace or violence and war. Cities possess a distinguishing share in societies’ economic growth and development. Future of the development of the developing countries is concentrated in cities. Theref...

models of living in cities needs planning for land use. those who have planned for the cities have studied land use to present a model for the construction of cities. change of land use, is the main concern today. the factors which affect the change in land use can be divided into three main groups: legal factors, economical factors and population. out of these three factors, population has bee...

introductionpopulation data is easily accessible and shows the relationship between city size and other socio-economic factors in the city indirectly, so many geographers using this type of data to gain an understanding of the structure of the cities network and distribution of the people in the different levels of urban hierarchy. in fact, urban hierarchy is the best way of space organization ...
