"This paper reviews the practices, problems, and prospects of GIS-based urban modelling. The author argues that current stand-alone and various loose/tight coupling approaches for GIS-based urban modelling are essentially technology-driven without adequate justification and verification for the urban models being implemented. The absolute view of space and time embodied in the current generation of GIS also imposes constraints on the type of new urban models that can be developed. By reframing the future research agenda from a geographical information science (GISci) perspective, the author contends that the integration of urban modelling with GIS must proceed with the development of new models for the informational cities, the incorporation of multi-dimensional concepts of space and time in GIS, and the further extension of the feature-based model to implement these new urban models and spatial-temporal concepts according to the emerging interoperable paradigm."

基于 GIS 的城市建模：实践、问题和前景

“本文回顾了基于 GIS 的城市建模的实践、问题和前景。作者认为，当前基于 GIS 的城市建模的独立和各种松/紧耦合方法本质上是技术驱动的，没有足够的理由和验证正在实施的城市模型。当前一代 GIS 所体现的空间和时间的绝对视图也限制了可以开发的新城市模型的类型。通过从地理信息科学 (GISci) 的角度重新制定未来的研究议程，作者认为，城市建模与 GIS 的集成必须随着信息化城市新模型的开发，将多维空间和时间概念纳入 GIS，而进行，以及基于特征的模型的进一步扩展，以根据新兴的互操作范式来实施这些新的城市模型和时空概念。”
