REAP contains several unique features and has applications in a wide range of policy areas including transport, housing and planning. The programme’s powerful scenario tool models the impacts of policy and creates plausible scenarios of the future. These scenarios can be set against targets or compared to alternative futures based on different trends or assumptions.
