Abstract:

The objective of the research was to make use of a physically based social systems model, developed earlier, to study the determinants of city sizes and their national interactions. In particular, information on the role of a transportation system in affecting city sizes was required. In this second part, the relation between the urban settlements and a potential mapping that is related to the land (its population density, material and energy resources, activities, products, and consumption) is outlined. The dependence of the urban settlement distribution on long-distance international trade is discussed. The emergence of a new major social institution, the large corporation which is competitive with the urban settlement, is discussed. The socio-economic effects of transportation systems, and their modernization is described.
