Abstract

Concentration of economic activity and, in particular, concentration of population emerges as a relevant feature of this century. The grave problems associated with large cities (urban traffic congestion, pollution, crime, etc.) have made the study of them an important topic. The first step to be taken in this study is to determine which elements favor the agglomeration of economic activity and which ones put a stop to it. In this paper we present an overview of the principal models involved with cities focusing in the most recent lines of research.
