Abstract
During the past few years, we have witnessed the appearance of a new generation of models for urban and regional analysis and planning. Following the systems idea that everything depends on everything, analytically-oriented demographers, economists and planners have expressed a growing dissatisfaction with “one-at-a-time” regional models. As an alternative, a multiregional approach has been advocated, in which regions are represented as components of a larger, interconnected system. This new model structure is proposed as an improved tool for the assessment of spatially differentiated impacts of national and/or regional policies. Multiregional models not only recognize the relationships that exist between regions, and are able to trace both the direct and the indirect interaction effects, but they also yield consistent regional and national statistical measures. The consistency of results with national totals has always been a difficult issue in regional modelling; it was never adequately resolved until a model structure was developed in which all regions of a nation were considered simultaneously.
