I have written a survey paper for publication in the ITB Journal that outlines the existing approaches to procedural city generation and provides a discussion into the merits of each approach. All references are included so it should be a useful paper to begin research into procedural city generation.
Topics include:
- Introduction into Procedural Techniques
- Grid Based Layout
- L-systems
- Agent Based Simulation
- Voronoi and Template Based techniques
- Shape Grammars
Please read the paper and feel free to let me know your thoughts on it, has anything been left out or do you feel that there are any errors in the paper.
Update: The paper has been published in the ITB Journal Issue 14 which can be found here.
