Smith, Mark The objective of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of the phenomenon of mathematical modelling in urban studies and to stimulate a deeper debate about the use of models in planning. This is done by means of an identification of key assumptions made in the process of the interpretation of reality as a set of algebraic relations; assumptions which, it is argued, underlie virtually the whole of mathematical modelling but which appear never to be openly discussed. An example of the use of these assumptions is then given in the theoretical development of the logit model of discrete choice, and the paper is concluded with preliminary recommendations about the future development and use of the mathematical model. El objetivo de este trabajo es contribuir a la comprensión del fenómeno de la modelación matemática en estudios urbanos y de estimular un debate más profundo sobre el uso de modelos en la planificación. Esto se hace por medio de una identificación de los supuestos básicos en el proceso de la interpretación de la realidad como un conjunto de relaciones algebraicas; supuestos que, se argumenta, la base de la práctica totalidad de los modelos matemáticos, pero que parece que nunca se discuten abiertamente. Un ejemplo de la utilización de estos supuestos se da entonces en el desarrollo teórico del modelo logit de elección discreta, y el documento se concluye con recomendaciones preliminares sobre el futuro desarrollo y el uso del modelo matemático.
