4. 2 Modelling cities means more than modelling movement Cities are about transaction & not only about movement. Movement models have ruined the social & economic performance of cities by creating too much movement, insufficient exchange.

8. Urban planning principles 101 Cities aren’t about movement from A to B. Cities are about social & economic transaction between people moving at different scales.
9. Planning for transaction Multi-scale movement modelling Pedestrian movement Vehicle movement A single modelling environment
10. 4 Success is easier to model than failure In successful cities, spatial accessibility, movement, land use, density & heightare correlated. Broken cities are harder to model.
13. 6 Do not separate development from application Develop through application. Create feedback mechanisms between development & application. Expect failure.

15. 7 Urbanization is not a brutal fact but a beautiful & powerful opportunity …for creativity, innovation, industry & culture.
