Multi-sectoral urban growth in space and time:  an empirical approach.
"This paper compares the distribution of growth of several economic sectors in an attempt to trace and analyse their spatiotemporal sequence of decentralization.  The paper applies a polynomial regression model capable of dealing with detailed spatiotemporal series.  The application of the model to the urban field of Philadelphia [Pennsylvania] shows population to be the farthest spread followed by manufacturing industries.  Despite, or probably because of, their extensive spread, both sectors display low levels of growth."  In addition to population and manufacturing, the patterns of growth in retail and wholesale trade, services, and the provision of financial, insurance, and real estate services are examined for the period 1960-1980.
