Counterurbanization:  spatial division of labour and regional life-cycles in Canada.
"After a discussion of major concepts of counterurbanization, a narrow definition is proposed.  Various demographic and socio-economic dimensions are analysed at different scales with special regard to the Canadian heartland.  The basic hypothesis suggests a temporary weakening of urban growth dynamics:  decentralization, thus, is a result of locational adjustment strategies, emerging during revolutions in basic technology.  The corresponding 'filtering down' processes create a selective, interregional spread of labour.  However, shift analytical time series indicate that the development capacity of core regions oscillates in a life-cyclical rhythm.  Counterurbanization is expected to fade out with regional adjustment to basic technological transformation."
