What is it about?
-A hybrid urban expansion model (HUEM) is proposed. -HUEM couples agent-based, cellular automata, and logistic regression modeling approaches. -HUEM is a predictive model, which simulates future urban expansion.

Why is it important?
This paper presents a hybrid urban expansion model (HUEM) that integrates logistic regression (Logit), CA and AB approaches to simulate future urban development. A key feature of HUEM lies in its ability to address various people behaviors that are variable over time through AB relying on a sample approach that combines Logit and CA.
Perspectives
The performance of HUEM is compared to a number of typical spatial urban expansion models, i.e. Logit model, CA model and CA-Logit to assess the added-value of HUEM. The comparison shows the performance of HUEM is better than other models in terms of allocation ability.
