  1. The Landuse Evolution and Impact Assessment Model L E A M Brian Deal LEAM Laboratory Department of Urban and Regional Planning University of Illinois

  2. Overview • Why model? • What is LEAM? • Preliminary results • What role does LEAM play? • Next steps

  3. What is Modeling? • Describing how systems behave • Describing different system components • Describing different mechanisms that cause change • Descriptions are typically mathematical expressions • Graphic representations are easier to understand and manipulate

  4. Why Model? • Complex systems behave in unexpected (emergent) ways • Caused by feedbacks and lags • Caused by uncertainty • Understanding systems requires knowing • How systems behave “normally” • A range of other systems behaviors • What-if scenarios

  5. Why Model? • The model building process is as important as the end result • Helps groups develop a shared understanding • Provides a common frame of reference • Helps create institutional memory

  6. What is LEAM?

  7. data decisions models impacts LEAM Approach • Captures causal mechanisms of land-use change • Environmental, Social, Economic • Appropriate scales • Captures dynamics of complex systems • Feedbacks • Lags • Captures impacts of land use change • Causal relationships • Environmental, Social, Economic • Incorporates calibration and validation • Quantify uncertainty

  13. McHenry County

  14. Base 2030 Yellow/Red is new growth

  15. LEAM base Overlay on Natural resource inventory

  16. LEAM base run On Common Ground plan

  17. Scenario Analysis • LEAM analysis of • Public policy choices • Public investments • I-90 Interchange at US23 • Current condition vs added interchange

  18. Comparison map High growth run

  19. LEAMs Role in Planning?

  20. LEAMs Role • Legacy Planning • Broader applications

  21. Legacy Planning Applications • Resource risk assessment • Conflict emergence over time • Dynamic interactions

  22. Broader Planning Applications • Beyond Legacy planning • Assessing future outcomes • Public policy • Investments • What-if scenarios • Assessing implications • SOP • Dynamic planning • Uncovering inconsistencies

  23. Next Steps • Break Out Sessions • Groups of approx eight • Local expertise and experience • Set of diverse maps are provided • Resource inventory maps • Agricultural Resources, Cultural Resources, Natural Resources • System-of-Plans maps • Region, County, Southwest portion, Marengo, Huntley, Unified • LEAM land-use change maps • Base run, New Ramp scenario, Comparing land-use pattern with regional plans, Comparing land-use pattern with resource inventories • Are these building blocks more generally useful to planning in McHenry County? • What improvements can be made to them?

  24. Break Out Sessions • Session 1 • Consider how the resource inventory, the System of Plans, and LEAM simulations can be used to create elements of a Local Legacy plan in McHenry County. • 1. Are the data in the resource inventories correct? What additional data about resources are needed? • 2. Which resources are already protected? Which resources are addressed in plans? Which resources are not addressed?

  25. Break Out Sessions • Session 2 • New interchange on I-90 at US 23 in southwest McHenry County. • 1. How does this proposal relate to other proposals or expectations in existing plans? Are there interesting differences among existing plans in terms of expected land uses, regulations, and capital investments? • 2. How might the System of Plans, LEAM, or the Legacy Plan help you usefully discuss and persuasively oppose or support this proposal?
