Notes
Metroscope is a set of decision support tools used by Portland Metro, the Portland, Oregon area's regional government, to model changes in measures of economic, demographic, land use, and transportation activity. Metroscope comprises four models and a set of GIS (geographic information system) tools that keep track of the location of development activities and produce visual representations (maps) from the models' output. The four models that interact within the Metroscope framework are: economic model, travel model, two real estate location models, and GIS database and tools.
The MetroScope model was developed by Sonny Conder, Principle Regional Planner, with assistance from Keith Lawton, Technical Services Director, Dennis Yee, Senior Economist and Jim Cser, Assistant Land Use Modeler.
