As Estruturas Urbanas Do Brasil: Uma Análise A Partir Do Tamanho Das Cidades

Author

  • Ricardo Machado Ruiz

Abstract

The literature on urban economics usually point up the developing countries as those ones with urban structure extremely concentrated and unequal, and the developed countries as those countries with a better distribution of cities. This paper compares the national and state urban structures of two countries: the USA, a developed country, and Brazil, a developing country. In the Brazilian case, the regional urban structures are also analyzed.
