Equity and the Big City
研究发展过程中人口空间分布如何变化，以及这些变化与收入规模和区域分布的关系，通过模拟模型和跨国数据检验因果联系，并提出极化逆转的多阶段模型。
The author attempts to answer two questions: "how does the spatial distribution of population change during the process of development, and how do these changes relate to changes in the size distribution and regional distribution of income. The causal connection between population and income distribution is examined through a simulation model. The theoretical implications of the model's results are empirically examined at several spatial levels: at the national level, with longitudinal data from ten Asian and Latin American nations, and at the regional and subregional levels, with data from Japan, Brazil, and the Philippines. Finally, a multistage model of polarization reversal (with interconnected regional inequality changes) is proposed."
