Breaking away from these constraints becomes possible with models that define interrelated objects, dynamically changing over time. This paper presents the authors’ experiences regarding the use of digital models in the study of urban phenomena, along with the historical and methodological context of such models. The authors analysed two models of dynamic urban processes: the historical growth model of proto-town of Pultusk and the transportation accessibility model of Donostia / San Sebastián. Both examples are part of research conducted by the authors. Conclusions on the method implemented, and more general assumptions concerning simulation models’ role in rational design were presented.}, type={Article}, title={Model Use in the Study of Dynamic Urban Phenomena: Study of a City Growth Model and a Transportation Accessibility Mo}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/134135/20_Teka_tom_specjalny_2024.pdf}, doi={10.24425/tkuia.2024.152203}, keywords={design methodology, urban planning, dynamic model, simulation}, }
