Applied spatial modelling and planning / edited by John R. Lombard, Eliahu Stern and Graham Clarke.

"This book highlights the extraordinary range of areas to which geographical analysis and spatial modelling can bring lessons and insights. It shows how these techniques have been used to address 'real world'issues that are of concern to international organisations, public agencies an...
