Urban Mathematics – video 4
OK, here it is, I’ll try to explain this urban behavioral model, The Gravity Model, as clearly as I can. It would probably be tricky to follow but fortunately, I’ll elaborate later on. So, deep breath…
My goal here is to show the mathematical equivalent of (don’t panic) Nash equilibrium on a large scale with many players. Just as in the example of the ice cream vendors, I am looking for the easiest way to explain why businesses are clustered in the city, using the simplest possible model.
Hmm, sounds reasonable. Let’s go.
