Regional Urban Systems

Regional Urban Systems refer to the interconnected networks of cities and towns within a specific geographic area. In urban population geography, this concept examines how these urban centers relate to one another in terms of population, economy, and resources. It considers factors like transportation, trade, and migration that influence how people move and settle in these areas. Understanding these systems helps researchers and planners address regional issues, like urban growth, infrastructure needs, and economic development, ensuring that resources are used effectively and sustainably across the region.
