Urban Rank-Size Heirarchy: A Mathematical Interpretation

Summary: Pending
Despite seventy years of intensive research, the mathematical nature of the urban rank-size heriarchy is stilll subject to much debate. Stewart has argued that urban distributions apporximate an "S" shaped logistics curve, others suggest a "J" shaped distribution and that linearity in the data exists only in truncatd portions of the distribution. The research in this monograph demonstrates a new interpretation of rank-size regularities: data which conform, in general, to a rank-size pattern, approximate the cruve of an equiangular spiral.
