Abstract
The geographical scale of the analysis and description has a considerable influence upon the spatial relationships of the phenomena under examination and on the processes at work. The scale of the analysis of the study presented above is predominantly urban, ranging from the spatial structure of cities and city regions to the system of cities. Thus, it is only possible to draw here some tentative conclusions for the national scale, involving the system of regions and their spatial organisation. Let us, because both space and time are involved here, first consider the way in which time has been incorporated in this analysis.

For the North there is even some evidence of a spatial coincidence with a Chris- taller type of central place system. See, Thijsse, J.P., A rural pattern for the future in the Netherlands, Papers and Proceedings of the Regional Science Association, 1962, Vol. 10, pp. 133–141.

This result is also supported by a study of the spatial structure of the hierarchy of regional service centres in the Netherlands. See, Buursink, J., De Nederlandse hiërarchie der regionale centra, Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, 1971, pp. 67–81.
