This was a cooperative work carried out between postgraduate students of the University of Campinas (Brazil) and undergraduate students of the Technical University of Brauchschweig(Germany).

​

Problem: A student group from Germany came to Brazil to do an urban planning work in Barra Funda, São Paulo, and need more references on: the area to be studied, on the urban regulations in force in Brazil and in São Paulo, among other subjects related to the theme and exercise. Such references should be collected and transmitted to German students by the Brazilian group.

​

Objective: The Brazilian group should study the region and use their knowledge on the urban question, the environmental question, among others, to assist the German team. It is mandatory for the Brazilian group to use cellular automata programming platforms, where rules will be tested, created and presented to the German group, who may use this tools in the preparation of their projects.

​

Proposal: The proposal of the Brazilian group consists in offering to the German team a model programmed in NetLogo, which should contain rules and limits established by the Brazilian team. The parameters programmed by the Brazilian group in NetLogo had the objective of reproducing, in the computational platform, the same numerical constraints that are related to the parameters of urban occupation and of environmental quality, that were in the programmatic requirements of the discipline. Thus, it is expected that the German team can use NetLogo to test the relationships between the various parameters programmed by the Brazilian group, such as to observe "IF" and "HOW MANY" iterations it is possible to achieve the solution to the presented problems.
