Abstract
John Ottensmann's elegant little book presents nine BASIC computer programs that implement standard models for urban planning and analysis. They include population trend and cohort-survival models, economic base models, shift-and-share models, input-output models, single-and-double constrained gravity models, and optimal facility location on planes and networks. Though the author's intended audience is planners in small agencies as well as planning students, the programs would be equally useful in such university social science departments as geography, economics, sociology, political science, and urban studies.
