Hierarchical Urban System

A hierarchical urban system arranges cities and towns based on their size, importance, and functions. Larger, more influential cities serve as central hubs for commerce, culture, and governance, while smaller cities and towns are connected to these centers and often depend on them for specialized services. This structure creates a rank or hierarchy that helps organize urban areas, ensuring efficient movement of people, goods, and resources. It reflects how urban areas are interconnected, with bigger cities providing regional leadership and smaller ones supporting local needs within the overall system.
