Modelling Assignment: City Development II (Human Geography)

Tasks

After you have refined your "eco-fee" model and presented it in Hindafing's municipal assembly, another revision is required.

Your new task is to extent your model (while keeping it simply) to account for the effect that public transport companies will raise their fees by factor 3.5 after 10 years. This time, a final presentation is required which should contain a graphical model representation (in terms of a stock and flow diagram) and simulation results of this model with and without the increase in public transport costs. A last slide should summarize the consequence of the two scenarios as a basis for the final vote of the municipal assembly.
