Digital twins for cities – The rise of the socio-technical system
The evolution of spatial codes in informal urbanism
This research explores the impact of urbanization on familial spatial codes within informal settings and sheds light on their adaptation to contemporary processes. Through comparing residential patterns between traditionally clan-based neighbourhoods alongside urbanized mixed-familial ones in the Palestinian-Israeli town of Sakhnin, the study seeks to scrutinize the socio-economic and political influences on the conduct of traditional code-based …
A project-based view of urban dynamics
Analyzing urban pattern dynamics based on construction projects, we classify them into three types - infilling, fringe, and leapfrogging, and focus on the role of leapfrogging projects as seeds for new developments, leading to uncontrolled urban sprawl. To study the leapfrogging phenomenon, we investigate the sprawl of three Israeli cities - Netanya, Haifa, and Safed over 54 years from 1964 to 2018 and conduct a country-wide analysis of the urban…
The role of analytical models and their circulation in urban studies and policy
Cities are so complex that we constantly build models to represent them, understand them and attempt to plan them. Models represent a middle ground between the singular configurations of cities and universal theories. This is what makes them valuable and prone to circulate (between places, institutions and languages) and evolve to adapt to new ideas, local conditions and/or other models. When it comes to analytical urban models (i.e. analytical r…

Assessing innovation
Urban models serve as laboratories, providing researchers with the opportunity to assess the impact of a wide range of social and economic processes on the development of a built environment. Novelty and unexpected changes play an essential role in this development, but these are difficult to formalize and imitate. Typically, urban models simulate innovation by introducing stochastic fluctuations of the pre-established development rules. This res…
Cellular Automata Modeling of Land-Use/Land-Cover Dynamics
Based on four time intervals within a forty-year period of observation, we construct land-use/land-cover (LULC) maps and estimate the transition probabilities between six LULC states. The maps and transition probability matrices (TPMs) were built based on the high-resolution aerial photos and 30-m multispectral Landsat images for the same years. We considered the TPM constructed from manual classification of the aerial photos as a reference and c…
Combining Segregation and Integration
The Schelling model is a simple agent-based model that demonstrates how individuals’ relocation decisions can generate residential segregation in cities. Agents belong to one of two groups and occupy cells of rectangular space. Agents react to the fraction of agents of their own group within the neighborhood around their cell. Agents stay put when this fraction is above a given tolerance threshold but seek a new location if the fraction is below …
GIS-based method for assessing city parking patterns
Between the Individual and the Community
This article examines how different levels of internal organization are reflected in the residential patterns of different population groups. In this case, the Haredi community comprises sects and sub-sects, whose communal identity plays a central role in everyday life and spatial organization. The residential preferences of Haredi individuals are strongly influenced by the need to live among 'friends' - that is, other members of the same sub-sec…
The Schelling Model of Ethnic Residential Dynamics
The Schelling model of segregation is an agent-based model that illustrates how individual tendencies regarding neighbors can lead to segregation. The model is especially useful for the study of residential segregation of ethnic groups where agents represent householders who relocate in the city. In the model, each agent belongs to one of two groups and aims to reside within a neighborhood where the fraction of 'friends' is sufficiently high: abo…
Between Friends and Strangers
Sanhedria, an inner–city neighborhood in Jerusalem, is populated mostly by members of several sects belonging to the Haredi (Jewish ultra–Orthodox) community. The Sanhedria case offers an opportunity to examine noneconomic processes of segregation. The paper examines residential relations between sects as reflected in their residential choices and the observed residential distribution. Sanhedria residents are close in economic status and share si…

From Schelling to Spatially Explicit Modeling of Urban Ethnic and Economic Residential Dynamics
The robustness of outcomes to the parameterization of behavioral rules is a crucial property of any model aimed at simulating complex human systems. Schelling model of residential segregation satisfies this criterion. Based on the recently available high-resolution census GIS, we apply Schelling model for investigating urban population patterns at the resolution of individual buildings and families. First, we simulate ethnic residential dynamics …

The Spatial Pattern of Arab Industrial Markets in Israel
This paper examines the structure of industrial linkages of Israeli-Arab entrepreneurs, members of an ethnic community at the periphery of contemporary Israel. This case study delineates some of the challenges that ethnic peripheral minorities have to face in their attempts to integrate into late capitalist economies. It begins with the simultaneous construction of the pattern of sales linkages on micro- and macrolevels. In the first stage, based…
Artificial Planning Experience by Means of a Heuristic Cell-Space Model
We suggest considering the city as a complex, open, and thus self-organized system, and describing it by means of a cell-space model. A central property of self-organizing systems is that they are not controllable-not by individuals, nor by economic, political, and planning institutions. The city, in this respect, is complex and untamable. Inability to recognize and accept this property is one of the reasons for the difficulties and problems of m…
