Abstract

Urbanization is an integral part of the overall process of economic and social development. There is growing evidence that this is the case for Pakistan also. Pakistan in 1972 was nearly 27 percent urban and today is perhaps 30 percent plus urban, The probable distribution by size of place of this growth is of great importance for economic and social planning yet curiously it has received very little sch'olarly investigation as yet [7], is an exception and the present article should be viewed ~s an extension to Helbock's work.
