Title
An agent model of urban economics: Digging into emergence
Abstract
•We present an agent-based ‘monocentric’ model of the emergence of urban form.•Key conditions for spatial equilibrium are two cost types: distance and proximity.•A distributed market is used; this is more suitable to spatial market problems.•A density cost is used to show the role of externalities and proximity cost.•Emergence should be demoted from end-goal or explanation of agent models to a tool.
