| | | | Modelling World 2012 Conference Programme | | | | | "The presentations were varied and focused on new challenges raising interesting ideas and stimulating discussions. It is good to have a range of both academics and practitioners. Modelling World is well organised and significant thought is put to the programme."

| | | | | | | Morning plenary: Learning from other disciplines - will big data be able to change the fundamental way in which we model?
Can the growth of 'big data' and technological advances offer new modelling solutions, tools and platforms to help us better understand 'real' urban behaviours? And while frugal innovation may be relevant and exciting, what lessons from the past would we do well to hold on to?
