    Urban concentration in developing countries initially rises with development then falls. Non-economic factors like political instability and homogeneity significantly drive primate city formation beyond economic rationale.

    Area of Science:

    • Urban Studies
    • Development Economics
    • Political Science

    Background:

    • Urban concentration is a key feature of developing economies.
    • Understanding the drivers of primate cities is crucial for policy and planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the economic, political, and cultural determinants of urban concentration in developing nations.
    • To analyze the relationship between national development levels and the size of the largest city.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of data from a sample of 53 developing countries.
    • Examination of the correlation between national development, foreign investment, and urban population share.

    Main Results:

    • Urban concentration follows a non-linear path, increasing and then decreasing with development.

  • Foreign investment patterns shift from main cities to diversified locations as countries develop.
  • Political instability, lack of democracy, and population homogeneity correlate with higher urban concentration.

    • Conclusions:

    • Economic development alone does not explain urban concentration patterns.
    • Non-economic factors play a significant role in creating primate cities that are disproportionately large.
    • Policy interventions should consider a broader range of factors beyond economics to manage urban growth.
