This volume is the result of an invited symposium titled
"Integrated Land-Use and Environmental Models: A Survey of Current
Applications and Research" that was held in October 2000 at Arizona
State University. The idea for the symposium arose from a belief
held by many academics that we are at the watershed of a new
generation of models that are more dynamic, more pragmatic, more
interdiscipli nary, and more amenable to collaborative decision
making. Several academics and professionals engaged in urban
research had long realized that domain-specific knowledge was
inadequate for understanding and managing urban growth. While
interdisciplinary approaches have become critical in most social
research, one general area of knowledge that stands out as having
the most wide-ranging impact on current urban modeling efforts is
the field comprised of environmental sciences and ecology. The
symposium offered a forum for academics and professionals engaged
in urban and ecological modeling to exchange ideas and experiences,
specifically in areas that overlapped urban and environmental
issues. The contri butions to this volume highlight the progress
made in the various efforts to build integrated urban and
environmental models. More importantly, each chapter shows how
ideas have diffused across disciplinary boundaries to create better
policy-relevant models. In addition, this book outlines some
promising areas of research that could make important contributions
to the field of urban and envi ronmental modeling. Integrated
thinking about urban and environmental issues has been fundamental
to the concept of sustainability."
