The central aim of this book is the presentation and application of a mathematical model designed to capture the interrelated dynamics of traffics and settlement structure in developing urban regions. Evidently metropoles of emerging nations are the most prominent cases of rapidly evolving...

In part I of this book a dynamic migratory model connecting the microlevel of individual migration trends with the macrolevel of interregional migration is developed. Its derivation makes use of the master equation method. Applying a ranking regression analysis, the trend parameters of the model...
