Toward a Policy Planner's View of the Urban Settlement System,
Abstract
This paper considers the interplay of three types of influences that affect the national system of urban settlement: (1) Cultural predispositons, the basic values and axioms that define a society's aspirations and direction, even though they may seldom describe its actual performance; (2) Migratory predispositions, the highly focused but as yet inactivated streams of potential migration that are defined by the history of past population movements; (3) Government activities and programs, whose inadvertent secondary effects exert a powerful but undirected influence on the redistribution of population.
