We question the claim that the largest US cities are Pareto distributed. We show that results of multiple tests on real data are similar to those obtainedwhen the true distribution is lognormal, and largely depend on sample sizes. © 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
متن کاملYet even more evidence on the spatial size of cities: Urban spatial expansion in the US, 1980–2000

متن کاملThe spatial structure of Latin American cities.

The Latin cities are experiencing decentralization of population and some decentralization of employment. Overall population density patterns of large Latin ci...
متن کاملThe Size Distribution of Chinese Cities
This paper uses Chinese urban data to investigate two important issues regarding city size distribution: the nature in which cities of different size grow relative to each other, and which distribution is the best approximation of city size distribution. First, we examine how cities of different sizes grow relative to each other. While most empirical literatures suggest that relative size and r...
