Intuitively, this suggests that there should be a link between urban hierarchy designations and population dynamics in future periods. This link must be taken into account in planning decisions, as it suggests that today\u2019s decisions affect tomorrow\u2019s demand for services. Indeed, this link was assumed in a previously published planning model. Yet, no direct evidence of such a link appears in the literature. The primary goal of this article is to fill this gap by using the census data for Portugal for the period 1991\u20132001 and the changes in the urban hierarchy that were implemented during 1980s and early 1990s. While our results support the link between urban hierarchy designations and population dynamics that has been assumed in previously published work, the mechanism describing this link appears to be somewhat different from the one postulated previously. Several extensions and directions for future work are also discussed. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0160017614524226","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,21]],"date-time":"2014-03-21T13:43:58Z","timestamp":1395409438000},"page":"149-171","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["The Relationship between Population Dynamics and Urban Hierarchy"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Joao F.","family":"Bigotte","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Antonio P.","family":"Antunes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA"}]},{"given":"Dmitry","family":"Krass","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Joseph L.
