Abstract

This paper attempts to evaluate the definition of city population as employed in the 1982 China's population census, to interpolate a set of nonagricultural population for all designated cities as city population in 1982 for statistical analysis, and to display and interpret the hierarchical and spatial distribution of cities in China as related to regional economic development in terms of rank-size rule, primacy index, regional patterns, and relevant explicit and implicit causes and sources of city growth during the interim between 1953 and 1982.
