Population demographic tracking and estimation tool: a simulation-dashboard for urban redevelopment’s demographic implications in Israel

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This research introduces a pioneering methodology and user-friendly online dashboard for examining population shifts during urban redevelopment in Bat Yam, Israel, part of the Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area. The simulation tool, operated through scripts, predicts how redevelopment scenarios will impact household demographics over time. Its output is a population track-change CSV file detailing demographic changes. The accompanying online dashboard visually presents these changes, making the data accessible to policymakers and planners. The tool’s consideration of environmental factors enhances its applicability in identifying vulnerable populations and resilient communities amidst urban renewal. This user-friendly approach, compatible with existing planning tools, underscores the article’s significance in advancing urban planning practice and addressing societal needs.
