  • Title: [The urbanization concept in the geography of Western Countries].
    Author: Hoekveld GA.
    Journal: Geogr Tydschr; 1985; 19(5):427-41. PubMed ID: 12340740.
    Abstract:
    The author begins by describing the problems caused by the different meanings given to commonly used terms in urbanization research by scholars in different Western countries. The causes of such differences are sought in the varying experiences of countries with regard to such phenomena as suburbanization, counter-urbanization, and the migration turnaround. The author suggests that future studies of such questions should take into consideration the concept of an overall national settlement system. (SUMMARY IN ENG)
