Computable Urban Economic model for the evaluation of urban masterplan

A case of Hanoi urban masterplan

Abstract

Since the masterplan for urban planning requires efficient implementation of a large variety of projects, it is necessary to manage the progress of projects according to the PDCA cycle management concept. As the computable urban economic (CUE) models is one of powerful tool to analyze effects of policies to the goals of the plan, it is necessary to consider the human flow to evaluate polices to urban area, as human flow has significant impacts to the economy in cities with huge population especially in developing countries. In addition, it is necessary to evaluate effects of policies to each industry, as targeted goals for specific industry is frequently indicated in the plan. Therefore, in this study, CUE model with the structure that enables detailed analysis of human flow and each industry basis effects is proposed and applied to the evaluation of Hanoi urban master plan as a tool for PDCA cycle management.
