Multi-scale simulation and dynamic coordination evaluation of water-energy-food and economy for the Pearl River Delta city cluster in China

In this research, an integrated approach is developed through the incorporation of systems dynamics (SD), catastrophe progression (CP), and coupled coordination degree (CCD) analysis within a general modelling framework. The developed SD-CP-CCD is then employed to simulate and evaluate relationships...
