MILLS URBAN SYSTEM MODELS - PERSPECTIVE AND TEMPLATE FOR LUTE (LAND USE TRANSPORT ENVIRONMENT) APPLICATIONS

Linear programming models of spatial economy (Mills, 1972, 1974a, 1974 b, 1975) have prompted the development of several diverse extensions. The purpose of this paper is to review and assess the impact of Mills' model on the development of its derivatives, and to evaluate the role of these models in the development of LUTE (Land Use / Transport / En vironment) formulations These models are assessed and reviewed by divi ding them into four categories: (1) static urban linear programming mo dels: (2) static nonlinear programming models; (3) static regional sca le models; and (4) dynamic models. including intertemporal and sequent ial programming models. An extended Mills model is proposed that combi nes intertemporal production and transportation with pollution control -a prototype LUTE application.
