| Description | We developed new urban models as reported in our academic papers and the final report submitted to EPSRC. These made our models visually intelligible to policy makers - we developed software on the desktop and also interfaced with the work done at Newcastle in transport networks |
| Exploitation Route | We are taking these forward in our spinoff company Prospective Labs Ltd. The RA is working with them on this initiative |
| Sectors | Environment,Transport |

| Description | We have used the models - and this project was part of the wider ARCADIA project which followed on from Tyndall Cities - to look at alternative impacts of resilience of large scale projects of the London region with TfL and GLA groups |
