Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to describe a model which is normativer allocates resources efficiently, incorporates all economic features which are prerequisite to the existence of cities, and serves as a tool for town planning. The model is organized as a linear program when population distributions are known and as a non-linear program when these distributions are to be predicted. Relationships to existing macro-economic models such as Mills1 (1972) model are sketched, and suggestions are made for further development of this model framework.
