Abstract	Gentrification, as one example of complex urban behaviors, has enjoyed the spotlight among researchers in various fields of study such as economics, politics, sociology, and geography for about four decades. Most former research discusses theoretical issues, causes, and consequences of gentrification, but do not typically focus on building models to describe the dynamical process of gentrification. This thesis reports on an agent based model for simulating the phenomenon of inner-city gentrification using hybrid models of Cellular Automata (CA) and Multi Agent Systems (MAS) design and effort has been put into constructing an exploratory model of gentrification. The model method involves functions of CA and MAS focusing on behavior of agents, which are residential mobility and residents ’ decision-making processes at micro-scale. The simulation model is applied to the Gateway district and its northern neighborhood in Salt Lake City, Utah. In order to test the model of gentrification, various hypotheses from gentrification theory are posed in 2 simulation. The hypothesis is examined by running the model in different scenarios. The simulation results demonstrate that the model is verified at a theoretical concept level and thus the model shows the capability of using an agent-based model for understanding complex urban dynamics, in particular gentrification.
