Understanding territories.Exploring their futures.

Simulating the effects of public policies to inform the ecological transition of territories.

A multisectoral approach supporting local authorities and research.

What questions can SIMUTEC help explore?

How do transport, housing and spatial planning policies influence the development of a territory? SIMUTEC simulates different scenarios and compares their effects on mobility, the environment and living conditions.

Transport & mobility

What effects could a new transport project have?

Explore its potential consequences for travel, household and employment locations, energy consumption and emissions.

Housing & spatial planning

How do planning choices transform a territory?

Compare planning scenarios and their effects on housing and activity locations, land use and access to jobs.

Energy & households

How do rising energy prices affect households?

Study the effects on household expenditure and travel, and the differences between territories.

SIMUTEC explores possible developments without seeking to predict the future. Results depend on the assumptions and data used.

One platform, multiple perspectives

Connecting territorial dynamics

SIMUTEC draws on three complementary, interconnected models to explore interactions between mobility, location, energy and the environment.
