Dynamic flow analysis of transformation of urban form to decrease car dependency. This dMFA explores the evolution of residential building stock differentiating between low-density single-family houses and higher-density multi-family buildings according to densification scenarios in 10 municipality types in Sweden from 2021 to 2100. The model links the building and car MFAs. Changes in residential urban density (inhabitants/m2) generate changes in car ownership and distance travelled by person by car. It calculates materials and GHG emissions in building stocks, car fleet production and use (direct and indirect).

The code was originally created for the paper: Undoing the lock-in of suburban sprawl: Towards an integrated modelling of materials and emissions in buildings and vehicles corresponding author: laura.perez.sanchez[at]uab.cat
