Strengths of the ApproachSD for Urban Planning2
• Support policy analysis on mid-long term development issues from an integrated perspective
• Global, regional, national, (urban) challenges:
Food security and poverty
Climate Change and natural disasters
Resources, emissions and sustainability
Equity and vulnerability
Focus of Threshold 21Overview of T213
T21 – Core StructureOverview of T213
MI’s T21 applications are grounded in the principle of Integration:
(1) Integration of social, economic, and environmental dimensions of development
(2) Integration of knowledge and input from different sources and stakeholders
(3) Integration of planning instruments across sectors, time horizons, and spatial scales
Integration: the leading principleOverview of T213

Overview of T213
Framework and Challenges4 T21 for Urban Planning
• Scaling and adapting T21 to urban level
• 100 Smarter cities – application with Huangshi
and Xiamen
• Treatment of spatial dimension
• Data availability
• Capacity development and institutionalization
Summary5 Conclusions
T21 is an integrated simulation model that helps
managing complexity in policy-making:
• Based on system dynamics
• Support open and inclusive planning
• Facilitate the identification of effective policies
• Integrates social, economic, and environmental factors
T21 – Urban Planning
