Inventur
A database presenting details of urban models in a pre-defined standardised format.
The database is the fruit of a study undertaken under the Inventur (Inventory of urban models) research programme coordinated by Daniel Siret, of the CERMA research centre in Nantes, France. This programme, undertaken within the framework of the CNRS research programme Management of models and know-how - urban applications, which created a survey instrument and a typology of urban models, of all kinds.
Producers and users of models are invited to reference their model in the inventory by completing a questionnaire describing their model. The site covers some 64 urban models, from physical models dealing with air, pollution, and risks, to models of transport, social segregation, or economic development of urban areas. The site, however, was last updated in July 1999 and the applications corresponding to the models presented are not downloadable from the site.
