Long-run urban growth with agglomeration economies.
"It is widely recognized that agglomeration economies are a crucially important factor in explaining the existence and growth of urban areas, and therefore should be explicitly taken into consideration in long-run urban growth analysis.  Once such economies are introduced, however, the urban economy tends to diverge from a steady state equilibrium and may 'explode' without limit.  A possible way to solve this dilemma is shown. First, a simple urban growth model with production and factor migration functions in the presence of agglomeration economies is set up....Then, land is introduced to show that the availability of the third factor of production will make it more likely to achieve a steady growth equilibrium in the presence of agglomeration economies.  Last, the model is generalized to include many factors of production."
