Nodal elements of regional support frameworks for settlement.

"The author extends his earlier work on the concept of a support framework for settlement (i.e., interconnected linear and nodal elements supporting the activities and needs of population within the settlement system), developed initially for the Caucasus region, to the entire country. A five-level hierarchy of urban nodes, ranging from highly developed agglomerations to small and medium-sized cities, is proposed which is used to analyze the level of urban support provided in the major economic regions of the USSR."

Explaining spatial concentrations of the poor in metropolitan Melbourne.

"Analysis of data from the 1996 Census of six Melbourne localities suggests that some recent explanations for spatial concentrations of the poor in metropolitan areas are incomplete. In these middle-suburban locations the better-off are moving out, leaving behind those with less resources. While people of Australian or English-speaking background are more likely than those of non-English-speaking background (NESB) to leave, the inflow from overseas is predominantly of poor NESB people. Together, these two processes are adding to the spatial concentrations of the poor in Melbourne."

[Entering the city: Maghribian migrations and the reshaping of urban networks in Tunis and Marseilles].

The development of French urban areas populated predominantly by North African immigrants is explored. "Starting from...research on the development of the outer periphery, the author analyses the emergence of a big Maghrebian city within Marseilles. He shows both the reproduction of residential patterns found in Tunis and the production of original social relationships, which characterize the dynamics of exchange between Maghrebian people."

Urbanization and spatial development in the Asian and Pacific region: trends and issues.

"This article reviews the trends and patterns of urbanization and spatial development since 1960 in selected Asian and Pacific developing countries and discusses the main forces underlying the trends. It examines issues such as the speed of urbanization, spatial concentration and appropriate measures to deal with them; the effects of income and differences in sectoral productivity and of population growth; the relative effectiveness of spatial policies; and urban problems and measures to cope with them. It then attempts to preview the likely urbanization trends to the year 2000, highlighting problems associated with rapid urban growth and excessive spatial concentration. Finally, it discusses the various policy approaches to spatial and urban issues."

City size, quality of life, and the urbanization deflator of the GNP: 1910-1984.

The authors attempt to determine the net effect of city size on quality of life by developing a welfare measure of urbanization. "The estimation procedure suggested in the theoretical part of the paper (section II) is implemented in the empirical part (section III) using 1980 census data from the [U.S.] PUMS (Public Use Micro Data Sample). The results indicate there is no single optimal city size, but rather a worst city size, and about 90 percent of the U.S. population reside in cities smaller than worst city size. If quality of life is related to the degree of urbanization, then long-term trends in the locational distribution of the population should be accounted for in any welfare-oriented measure of national income. One application of our results is, as indicated, the derivation of a GNP welfare deflator reflecting changes in the degree of urbanization (section IV). The findings suggest an urban deflator on the order of six to seven percentage points, which is steadily increasing at a rate of about half a percentage point per decade."
