摘要
City size distribution has become a hot topic in urbanization process and governed by many laws and rules in terms of its evolution and change. This study has discussed relation between fractal theory and city size distribution, Hausdorff index, Pareto distribution and zip's law as well as index calculation method which ought to be a good method of evaluating urban development. © 2013 Asian Network for Scientific Information.
