prairie settlement perspectives, 1971-1986. Geoforum, Vol. 21, No.
3, 1990. 303-20 pp. Elmsford, New York/Oxford, England. In Eng.
The
relevance of the concept of the population turnaround to the analysis
of population trends in the Canadian Prairie Provinces between 1971 and
1986 is considered. "Throughout the whole period the trend to greater
spatial concentration of the population has continued despite the
possibility of greater dispersal. The terms population turnaround or
counter-urbanization were found to be too general to summarize the
varied changes in the 1970s....In the 1980s more localized spatial
trends are identified, with most places experiencing marginal growth
and decline, thereby providing very different characteristics to the
previous decade."

interregional migration flows had accentuated regional economic
differences. However, the economic problems that have occurred since
1975, coupled with the political changes associated with greater
regional autonomy, have resulted in new trends in internal migration
that could have significant effects on the future distribution of the
country's population.

estimates of a simultaneous-equations model of intrametropolitan
location of population, employment, and housing. What distinguishes
this work from prior research on suburbanization is that population is
distinguished by income class, employment is distinguished by type, and
housing is distinguished by mode (i.e., owner versus rental). The
model is estimated for three distinct decades, namely, the 1950s,
1960s, and 1970s. Moreover, rather than inferring the causal linkages
between population, employment, and housing from estimates of urban
density functions or from relative changes in central city and suburban
population, this paper utilizes [U.S.] data on actual movers between
central cities (suburbs) and suburbs (central cities), as well as on
the location of metropolitan in-migrants in the central city versus the
suburban ring."

was the major component while for Sierra Leone it was mainly net
migration. In light of this conclusion, measures relating to both

that current planning procedures are in danger of perpetuating or even
worsening the situation. Obstacles to employment generation are

discussed. On every front, urbanization policy is unstable and, even
in the short term, there will be pressures to change

study of suburbanization in the United States in the period following
World War II. "The central question of the research was whether the
processes of deconcentration of population and dispersal of employment
from the central cities to the suburbs of large U.S. metropolises, with
the resulting morphological shifts from mono- to polycentric urban
forms, represent structural changes of the sort defined and modeled by
Allen and Sanglier's adaptation of Prigogine's
theory."

we must pay more attention to the fact that the green belt amenities

For this, this paper analyzes the case where there exist green belt
amenities and the demand for land function is almost linear. In this
case, it can be shown that the green belt is ineffective in restricting
the population growth in the long run."

Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Vol. 14, No. 1, Mar 1990. 49-69
pp. London, England. In Eng. with sum. in Fre.
The demographic
impact of the economic development that has occurred in the Pearl River
Delta Region of China, a region strongly influenced by Hong Kong and
Macau, is analyzed. The authors note that more liberal policies with
regard to migration have evolved in association with this economic
development, resulting in a marked increase in rural-urban migration.
"However, in contrast to the usual pattern found in most third world
countries, accelerated urbanization in the Pearl River Delta Region in
recent years has not been associated with increasing primacy. Nor has
'overurbanization'--in the sense that massive rural to urban migration
is not accompanied by rapid industrialization--been apparent. Instead,
there is a discernable trend toward a rank-size urban hierarchy. Also
industrial development in the small and intermediate urban places has
been gathering pace. In many respects the Chinese experience is an
anomaly and does not readily fit the conventional models of regional
development."

"Like many developing
countries Ecuador has experienced extensive urbanization in the past
twenty-five years as well as a shift in the pattern of rural population
change between the 1960s and 1970s. Rural places with difficult access
to cities (without roads and located far from cities) gained population
during the 1960s but lost population during the 1970s. Rural places
with easy access to cities (i.e., located near cities or on all-weather
roads) continued to gain population during the 1970s. The explanation
for the differential ability of rural places to retain their population
during the 1970s focuses on increases in labor circulation by peasants
and growth in the numbers of small, urban-oriented manufacturing and
agricultural enterprises in accessible rural areas. The article
concludes with a discussion on the implications of these findings for
policies to reduce rates of rural-urban
migration."
