Abstrakt: One of the main challenges of today΄s analytical geography is the back-linking of observed phenomena to individual actions, as not determined by individuals΄ structural situation in a one-goal society but by their very choice of spatial goals, i.e. by what shall be called individuals΄ actor-dimension. In this paper we present an actor-based model of urban residential mobility. Results show that public policies in urban development must take into account and act on this actor-dimension if they are not to obtain effects opposite to their aims. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
