The changing urban hierarchy in Scotland
Smith R. D. P. (1978) The changing urban hierarchy in Scotland, Reg. Studies 12, 331–351. An extension of earlier studies relating to England and Wales with which it is as uniform as the different conditions in Scotland permit. All significant centres are identified as at 1951 and 1971 and changes recorded. Results indicate a slow fall in the number of significant centres and in the role of three of the four city centres. The growth of a number of regional centres is identified, not only in the central belt where other growth is concentrated, but in the rural periphery. Associations are demonstrated between changes in population, facilities and retail trade; the locality population is the most closely linked but local newspapers are the most sensitive indicator of change.
