Agent-based modelling of land use dynamics and residential quality of life for future scenarios

► We use downscaled European socioeconomic scenarios to drive local analysis of land-use change. ► Agent-based modelling combines data from multiple sources for analysis of downscaled scenarios. ► Prime farmland is susceptible to industrial and commercial development. ► We simulate quality of life changes, showing increasing inequality between residents. ► Newly created residential areas provide increased quality-of-life.
