title: Spatial concentration and deconcentration of population: Israel as a case study.
abstract: "The present study examines population concentration and deconcentration in Israel in 1948-1992, distinguishing between the local (the metropolitan areas of Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa) and national levels. It covers the periods of immigration in the 1950s and the late 1980s (in the latter mainly from the former Soviet Union) and the period in between, when the waves of immigration to Israel died down and internal migration became the main factor shaping population distribution in Israel. The end of the article examines the methodological and theoretical significance of the empirical results."
