Abstract
The study in this chapter aims to evaluate the allocation efficiency of existing population agglomeration and then to measure the efficiency improvement with proposed optimal strategy of population agglomeration in urban planning. By emigrating about 14, 10, and 14 percents of the regional population from cities at low urbanization levels to cities at higher urbanization levels, allocation inefficiency strengths between benchmark and regional population distributions shrink to 5.800, 4.100 and 5.600 percents from 14.64, 9.850 and 13.97 percents for small, medium, and large cities, respectively.
