title: Migration and urban change.
abstract: "This paper examines the population development of large urban regions.  Several hypotheses about patterns of settlement change in highly urbanized countries are discussed using empirical material derived from IIASA's Comparative Migration and Settlement Study.  These hypotheses refer to interrelations between population growth and urban size, the role of migration and natural increase as components of urban population change, overall spatial mobility, hierarchical migration, and the age distribution of migrants moving between, out of, and into large urban areas."  The emphasis is on developed countries.  (summary in FRE, ITA, JPN, )
