The spectrum of possible scenarios that happen within an urban areas ranges from micro-level interactions between the citizens to the large-scale processes, such as flooding, fire, traffic jam and urban development. Since micro- and macro-levels of the city environment are inevitably interconnected, the integrated system that couples models of different scales with data and visualization facilities is a subject of interest for modern urban planners. Present work proposes a description of such system together with selection of scenarios that was developed within it. System is supporting by data aggregation and visualization tools and includes agent-based society model and urban- planning model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
