Abstract
This paper is focused on developing a simulation tool that will be used to assess urban sustainability and inform the future of urban planning. The tool is developed as an add-on module in an operational integrated transportation and land use model (ITLUM) calibrated for two Canadian cities: Hamilton, Ontario and Halifax, Nova Scotia. Progress towards sustainability is gauged based on indicators that will minimize negative environmental and social impacts while maximizing economic benefits. To this end, the methods to model the sustainability indicators are highlighted and described. A simulation example is provided to demonstrate the operability of the devised tool.
Keywords:
- sustainability,

Résumé
Cet article met l’accent sur le développement d’un outil de simulation conçu pour évaluer la durabilité urbaine et élargir le champ des connaissances nécessaires à la planification future du développement urbain. Cet outil consiste en un module instrumental qui s’ajoute à l’ITLUM (concept opérationnel intégré du développement spatial et de transport), et dont l’étalonnage a été adapté à deux villes canadiennes : Hamilton, Ontario et Halifax, Nouvelle-Écosse. Dans ces modèles, le progrès vers la durabilité est jaugé aux moyens d’indicateurs gradués pour baisser les impacts environnementaux et sociaux tout en haussant les bénéfices économiques. Dans ce but, les méthodes employées dans la conception de ces indicateurs de durabilité sont identifiées et expliquées. Un exemple de simulation est inclus afin de démontrer l’efficacité de cet outil.
