< p > Longer term, I'd like to take lots of the work in generating and interacting
with high-detail OpenStreetMap-based maps and generalize it, possibly as a new
OSM viewer/editor.< / p >
< p > More generally, I'd like to see how simulation can help individuals understand
and explore other policy decisions related to cities. Domains I'm vaguely
interested in, but not at all knowledgable about, include land-use / zoning,
housing, and supply chains. In late March 2020, a new collaborator started a
pandemic model using the existing simulation of people occupying shared spaces.
What are other domains could benefit from the rich agent-based model we're
building?< / p >
