Abstract: Recent efforts in the area of modelling activities in the urban environment have been concentrated on the use of simulation techniques. In this paper the problem of population location in a metropolitan area is treated in an analytic model employing a goal programming formulation. A target population is broken into groups which then compete for a share of limited capacity in a number of urban sectors. The possible usefulness of this approach to urban planning, real estate development, and transportation systems design is illustrated through the theoretical development and the presentation of a numerical model.
