Demography and the emergence of universal patterns in urban systems

L. M. A. Bettencourt and D. Zünd

This groundbreaking research by Luís M. A. Bettencourt and Daniel Zünd unveils a demographic framework that clarifies the statistical distribution of city sizes, moving beyond the limitations of Zipf's law. By examining migration flows and vital rates, it derives Zipf's law and other distributions under specific conditions. Discover how choice, symmetry, information, and selection resolve the puzzles related to deviations from Zipf's law.
