摘要: Abstract We examine the spatial distribution of population and employment in Hong Kong by specifying estimating monocentric polycentric density functions. Our empirical results indicate that concentrations are best characterized as monocentric, with single center located West Kowloon. also find consistent model four centers Kowloon, Central, Causeway Bay Tsuen Wan. discuss urban structure relation to government's planning policies.
