title: The design and implementation of a regional economic-demographic simulation model.
abstract: The management of urban growth patterns in the United States in order to maximize the benefits of public and private investments in urban areas is examined.  The authors present "the results of a modelling design effort to link a hybrid regional input-output model to demographic, labor force and energy models for use in planning in the San Francisco Bay Region.  Extensive use of system feedback is a major component of this research effort.  Summary results of the model outputs are presented...."
