The goal of this project is to contribute to a knowledge infrastructure for the support of spatial planning.

The project aims to provide theoretical foundations and practical adaptations of land use models for the Netherlands in order to improve and stimulate the use of these models in (spatial) policy discussions. In order to reach this goal, the project will deal with a number of weak points in the existing knowledge infrastructure, in particular the scientific foundations, the practical implementation and the fortification of education and training in modeling.
A number of organisations have formed the LUMOS (LandUseModelingSystem)-consortium. A large number of these organisations are involved in this specific LUMOSpro project-consortium. The consortium researches the relations between land-use change, societal processes and changes in the (geo-)physical system and develops models which are available to everyone.
