Inequality and city size: An analysis for OECD functional urban areas
Papers in Regional Science, 2020 As cities grow in size the productivity of their inhabitants is expected change due to agglomeration economies and congestion diseconomies. This change in productivity is usually associated with changes in the composition of skills and industrial ...

City size distributions and metropolisation [PDF]
Géographes associés, 1997 Many controversial questions about the shape and evolution of city size distributions can be solved if reliable, large and comparable set of date are used for several countries. We provide new empirical evidence by using the large data base ‘Geopolis’, which has strictly comparable figures for all towns and cities of the world over 10000 inhabitants ...

Fractal urbanism: City size and residential segregation in India
World Development, 2020 We present the first ever large-scale snapshot of urban residential segregation in India at the neighborhood-scale. Our analysis from 147 largest cities in contemporary India shows how caste-based residential segregation is independent of city size (our ...

More from Less? Environmental Rebound Effects of City Size [PDF]
Sustainability, 2020 Global sustainability relies on our capacity of understanding and guiding urban systems and their metabolism adequately. It has been proposed that bigger and denser cities are more resource-efficient than smaller ones because they tend to demand less ...

City-size bias in knowledge on the effects of urban nature on people and biodiversity
Environmental Research Letters, 2020 The evidence base for the benefits of urban nature for people and biodiversity is strong. However, cities are diverse and the social and environmental contexts of cities are likely to influence the observed effects of urban nature, and the application of

Urban Studies, 2010 Club theoretical analysis of migration between asymmetrical cities shows that centralised policy intervention is necessary to ensure the efficient allocation of people between cities. Administrative and economic measures are compared as policy instruments of central government.

Size distribution of cities: A kinetic explanation [PDF]
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2019 We present a kinetic approach to the formation of urban agglomerations which is based on simple rules of immigration and emigration. In most cases, the Boltzmann-type kinetic description allows to obtain, within an asymptotic procedure, a Fokker--Planck equation with variable coefficients of diffusion and drift, which describes the evolution in time of

Remote Sensing, 2022 Effectively monitoring the size of a city in real time enables the scientific planning of urban development. Models that utilize the distribution and variations in city size generally use population data as inputs, which cannot be obtained in a timely ...
