"Social policy makers and town planners will soon be able to play 'SimCity' for real using grid computing and e-Science techniques to test the consequences of their policies on a real, but anonymous, model of the UK population.
They are using data recorded at the 2001 census to build a model of the whole UK population.
The model can be projected into the future to explore the effect of different demographic trends and also to test the consequences of policy decisions."
Don't even think about rioting.
