Abstract:

We study a mathematical model to describe the evolution of a city, which is determined by the interaction of two large populations of agents, workers and firms. The map of the city is described by a network with the edges representing at the same time residential areas and communication routes. The two populations compete for space while interacting through the labour market. The resulting model is described by a two population Mean-Field Game system coupled with an Optimal Transport problem.We prove existence and uniqueness of the solution and we provide several numerical simulations.
