Abstract

Models of urban residential mobility usually take a bottom-up perspective by emphasising individual (household) decisions on locational preferences. These decisions are, however, framed by social, economic, and political forces such as markets, legal rules, and norms. The chapter therefore presents a preliminary attempt to incorporate macro-scale determinants, such as housing market mechanisms and urban planning decisions, into an agent-based model (ABM) to simulate patterns of residential mobility more comprehensively. The case study refers to the city of Salzburg, Austria.
