This article presents a one semester teaching experience conducted with 4th year architecture students at Universidad de Chile. The course focuses on urban modeling methodologies that tackle phenomena from a bottom-up approach (modeling the decisions of individuals, in order to observe how patterns emerge on a larger scale, using simulation), which allows to explicitly address the complexity of the city. A discussion is presented on the need to expose students to
these models, then the models used are detailed (Regional Economy, Segregation, Visibility, Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis, etc.), followed by with review criteria and perspectives. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of incorporating new tools of quantitative analysis to support decisions, but considering they are not predictive tools or
replace expert opinion.
