abstract     : We present a simulation system that can simulate a three-dimensional urban model over time. The main novelty of
our approach is that we do not rely on land-use simulation on a regular grid, but instead build a complete and inherently
geometric simulation that includes exact parcel boundaries, streets of arbitrary orientation, street widths,
3D street geometry, building footprints, and 3D building envelopes. The second novelty is the fast simulation time
and user interaction at interactive speed of about 1 second per time step.
