Abstract

Population is a variable commonly used in the construction of aggregate models, especially in the fields of regional and transport planning. But estimating the future population of a small area, such as a municipality, is particularly difficult. In the early 1970s, many researchers worked on the location of urban population using the negative exponential density function. This article examines the scope and limitations of this model for projecting the population of the smallest French administrative divisions (communes), based on a case study of the Lyon conurbation.
