Abstract: Models for designing suburban land-use plans are evaluated with respect to the same large well-defined test problem. This evaluation—including quality of solutions obtained, cost of search, validity of representation, and generality—indicates that central-facility models are likely to be more useful than quadratic assignment models for the design of suburban land-use plans at the scale considered. These results emphasize the importance of the evaluation of models both with respect to representations and with respect to search procedures.
