Land acquirement by municipalities
• Municipality is an active stakeholder
• Due to economic conditions land demand declined
• Depreciate the industrial land value• in 2014 losses have risen 4-6 billion• competition for attracting companies
• Mismatch in supply and demand → ABM

Land market imperfections
• Location and allocation• Land is traded infrequently• High transaction costs• Difficult to determine accurate price
• Integrating: urban policy, population growth dynamics, land-use change prediction
• ABM supports: policy makers, urban planners, urban developers

• Model matches existing supply with predicted demand
• Supply: existing industrial and business parks• Demand:
• Demand model per industry sector• Location choice based on companies’ preferences
• Data:• Employment per sector; sector specific area demand• Industry location (future also), location
characteristics, company register, GIS

ABM: General demand model
• BLM model estimates spatial demand (SD)• Employment indicators (E)• Terrain quotient (TQ)• Location type preference (LTP)
• Company growth with Monte Carlo• Growth per individual company• Fitting of the current accommodation• Newcomers

ABM: Financial feasibility

• Investments vs benefits• more space, moving closer to…
• Cost estimates for 3 actions: relocate, refurbish, built on new location
