ReMoTe-S simulates the residential mobility of Swiss tenants with the goal to foster a holistic understanding of the reciprocal effects between households and dwellings in the framework of housing sustainability. The model is based on assumptions derived from empirical research and can be used for exploratory purposes in research and management contexts. Concerning the former, the model is aimed to support knowledge production in the field of residential mobility and more specifically on the role of housing functions as orchestrators of the relocation process. Concerning the latter, the ABM can serve as a decision support to policy-makers and urban planners for the exploration of what if scenarios that target a reduction of the housing footprint and account for the systems effects of households’ preferences and decisions.
