Abstract
The conventional measure of the degree of urbanization is based on an arbitrary minimum urban size limit and does not reflect the urban size hierarchy. Two measures are proposed as alternatives—the scale of urbanization and the scale of population concentration. The former, like the degree of urbanization, is based on an arbitrary minimum size limit; but it does reflect the urban size hierarchy. A measure of scale of population concentration also reflects the size hierarchy, but it considers all points of population concentration (i.e., no minimum size limit is employed).
