Multilevel comparison of large urban systems
For the first time the systems of cities in seven countries or regions among the largest in the world (China, India, Brazil, Europe, the Former Soviet Union (FSU), the United States and South Africa)…
The growth equation of cities.
TLDR
This model reveals how rare, but large, interurban migratory shocks dominate city growth and underlines the importance of rare events in the evolution of complex systems11 and, at a more practical level, in urban planning.
Diverse cities or the systematic paradox of Urban Scaling Laws
Space–time correlations in urban sprawl
Understanding demographic and migrational patterns constitutes a great challenge. Millions of individual decisions, motivated by economic, political, demographic, rational and/or emotional reasons…
The agglomeration and dispersion dichotomy of human settlements on Earth
TLDR
This study analyses human settlements from high-resolution satellite imagery and provides a global classification of spatial patterns, namely agglomeration and dispersion, that helps to understand and estimate the growth of human settlements and, in turn, the distribution and physical dynamics of all human settlements on Earth.
An Illusion of Spatial Hierarchy: Spatial Hierarchy in a Random Configuration
In this paper we show the properties of a spatial hierarchy found in a random configuration in which points are randomly placed on a plane and ranks are randomly assigned to these points. First we…
The spatial distribution of US cities
MetaZipf. A dynamic meta-analysis of city size distributions
TLDR
A meta-analysis of Zipf’s law is set up which accounts for technical as well as topical factors of variations ofZipf‘s coefficient and shows that on average, 40% of the variation of Zip f's coefficients is due to the technical choices.
Firm linkages, innovation and the evolution of urban systems
Because a city cannot be conceived of as an isolated system but is always part of a system of cities (Berry, 1964), interaction between cities is an essential component of the dynamics of urban…
A Theory of Location for Cities
  • E. Ullman

  • 1941
Many studies have shown that cities are not scattered over the earth illogically, but a general theory of location has been lacking. The orderly spacing of towns as service centers forms a basis for…
