The study of urban systems accompanied the beginning of quantitative geography in the 1960s, and is quickly becoming one of the discipline’s most rapidly developing fields (Murayama 1982a). From concepts of the 1960s that emphasized an explanation of static spatial order in one time period such as King’s urban dimension (1966), Berry’s distribution ...
