This is the second of two papers devoted to the theoretical and empirical development of a predictive model of urban stock and activity. The first paper examined a number of concepts and terms in current use and developed the construction of a predictive model. The model is empirically developed and used to answer two types of questions: namely, impact analysis of policy decisions and tracing the trajectory of urban development. The concepts used in the model are validated, thus emphasizing its possible planning uses.
