In fact, before designing and developing any cellular automata models, specialists (researchers, designers, developers) should make a number of preliminary design choices. We propose in this study an easy to use methodology that can help to identify design choices of the oncoming CA Models regardless of field of application. Based on this methodology, we propose also a detailed discussion about the appropriate and the preferred design choices of CA Models in case of urban dynamics.
