Publisher's Synopsis
Originally published in 1899, this classic work explores the growth of cities from a statistical perspective. Using data from the US census and other sources, Weber examines factors such as population density, birth and death rates, immigration, and more to understand why some cities grow rapidly while others stagnate.
