Session 2
Alonso's model and urban centrality
About this event
Justin Delloye will present the Alonso model and its influence on how urban centrality is approached in urban studies and planning.
Starting from the model’s initial purpose (representing a housing market), he will explain how and why this model led to different applications, conclusions and interpretations when circulating across disciplines (economics vs. geography), as well as its relation with other urban models, including LUTI models.
