Abstract
Until recently, models of the relationship between the demand for urban space and the attributes influencing this demand have relied on empirical comparisons and few have contained a solid behavioural base. The Elimination-by-Aspects model presented in this paper has its origins in the behavioural sciences. This paper briefly outlines the theory underlying the model and describes applications to the choice of residence of a group of people in Melbourne and the freiqht facility location choice of a number of firm managers.
