Abstract
Urban landscape is largely affected by land-use patterns, the design of individual buildings, and the spatial harmony among these buildings. In this paper, we have developed a building spatial distribution model for visualizing urban space in blocks. In this model, it is assumed that the developers determine rebuilding and a choice of building type (i. e., land-use type and building height) according to the expected profit. Their decision probability is formulated by disaggregate logit model with explanatory variable of the expected benefit. Then the simulation method and its algorithm are developed. Finally, the validity test of the model is implemented in blocks in the city center of Nagoya.
