Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper shows that household location theory should probably be based on another foundation that the von Thunen‐Muth‐Alonso‐Mills paradigm of location in relation to some predetermined market place or CBD. We argue that the formation of such centres is part of an interdependency analysis of the working of a metropolitan area. Such an interdependency principle is partially tested in this paper. Based on econometrically estimated parameters it has been possible to simulate the equilibrium structure of population in 1977 based on data from the Stockholm region in 1975. The fit is remarkably close and suggests that further development of this type of model is likely to be worthwhile.
