Report
Primary responsibility for transportation planning has moved from private industry to government as a result of growing awareness of the interdependence of transportation planning with all other aspects of the urban planning process. Decisions are n...
Report
A formulation of air and water quality control models for a hypothetical regional economy and an evaluation of the likely economic results of different policies of pollution control enforcement. Emphasis is on a cost-benefit analysis of the treatmen...
Report
A compendium of hard lessons learned by several urban model builders, analysts, and simulators in the course of (1) developing a subemployment model for Dayton, Ohio; (2) using operations research techniques to site firehouses in East Lansing, Michig...
Report
A serious attempt to upgrade the theory and practice of urban planning by integrating with it concepts and methods from applied systems analysis. Methods of analysis and implementation are discussed in five parts: theory or systemic planning; applic...
Report
A recommendation that industry coordinate air and water quality management programs as an effective approach for minimizing waste abatement expenditures as well as delays in meeting pollution control regulations. Complementarity of waste treatment pr...
Report
International and domestic point-to-point communication satellite systems are expected to multiply throughout the decade. In developed regions, they will remain auxiliary to the overall ground communication complex, even though very significant in d...
