title: Population deconcentration in metropolitan Manila in the twentieth century.
abstract: "The present analysis is intended to delineate the extent of population deconcentration through an examination of changes in core-periphery growth and density patterns within the Metropolitan Manila complex.  Specifically, [the authors] examine changes in absolute and relative population growth and density levels in the central city of Manila, the inner suburban ring, and the outer suburban ring from 1903 to 1975.  [The authors] also present a preliminary assessment of the demographic processes underlying the post-World War II trends."  Data are from the 1975 Philippine census.
