Beyond the Rank-Size Rule
A new descriptive model of the frequency distribution of city size, termed the constant-Gini model, is introduced. The motivation behind this new model is threefold. First, it is believed that studies of the population structure of urban systems are most rewarding when systems are defined in terms of urban umlands instead of entire national territories. Second, it is noted that many large cities exhibit moderate or strong degrees of urban primacy…

Industrial Diversification in the Canadian Urban System
On the basis of a statistical analysis of their employment profiles, Canadian cities are grouped into four economic categories: manufacturing, mixed, nodal, and a heterogeneous group containing political, military, and mining towns. Indexes of industrial diversification are calculated for all cities for 1951, 1961, and 1971 using comparable data for the three years. It is shown that industrial diversification is significantly related to the econo…
The Dynamics of Growth in a Regional Urban System
This study has four objectives: (1) to describe the dynamics of growth in the urban system of southern Ontario over the period from 1851 to 1971; (2) to determine whether this system has evolved in accordance with the Gibrat process of growth; (3) to contribute to the debate on the relationship between city‐size distributions and economic development; and (4) to offer some technical and definitional suggestions with regard to the rank‐size rule, …
A Model of Size and Economic Structure in an Urban Hierarchy
By extending the work of previous researchers, this paper develops a model of city size and economic structure which recognizes the distinction between final and nonfinal markets as sources of urban support. The model is applied to various sets of data, and the results support the hypothesis that central-place firms benefit from increased economies of scale in larger centres, at least in the lower orders of a hierarchy. The results also cast some…
City Size, Economic Diversity, and Functional Type
It is widely accepted that increased city size brings greater industrial diversification. Nevertheless the results presented in studies which have tested this assertion are somewhat inconclusive, since doubts arise concerning the fitness of the methods used to express industrial diversification in quantitative terms. This paper reviews certain features of existing methods, describes two measures which are believed to meet certain
