"Slumulation 2.0, a human-environment interaction in the housing market of the cities is developed. Multiple spatial and temporal scales are incorporated in this version of the model. Households, developers and politicians are the important agents. Housing market represented by the housing units is the spatial environment in Slumulation 2.0. At a larger scale, electoral wards consisting of several housing units are introduced that interact with housing market dynamically. Slum formation patterns resembling real world patterns are simulated using the behavioral aspects of human-environmental interaction and feedback processes."
