The article discusses the results obtained from a short project that was undertaken at the University of Dortmund during August and September 1970. The study aims to illustrate the problems arising out of the development of an operational model using readily available information of a German city. It was hoped that the said study would give some insights about the problems of calibration and data manipulation which do not emerge from abstract examples, and that it would also indicate the potentialities of the kind of model for planning.
