Abstract: Processes of urban and regional change can be classified in terms of their temporal characteristics as fast-adjusting, medium-response, or inert. Based on this classification, a modelling approach is presented that combines (1) a fast-adjusting equilibrium-type transport model, (2) a medium-response residential occupation (housing-market) model, and (3) a strongly lagged residential location (housing-construction) model. It is suggested that such a model structure takes better account of the range of temporal behaviour observed in metropolitan regions than modelling approaches directed at determining a simultaneous equilibrium of transport and location. With data of the Dortmund, West Germany, metropolitan region, the model is employed to demonstrate the role of the transport system in the process of regional deconcentration observed in that region.
