Abstract

Our main purpose is to study the evolution of the urban structure of Spanish and Italian municipalities from 1900 to 2010. We use the estimation of the Pareto exponents to show that the most important behavior is the increase of inequality in the distribution over time. Convergence is more likely in Italy and for larger urban units.
