1 Eurasian city system dynamics in the last millennium Complex Dynamics of Distributional Size and Spatial Change, mediated by networks Doug White Irvine 3 minutes, 3 slides
2 Abstract (as in handout) A period historical scaling of city sizes in regions of Eurasia ( CE-) shows both rises and falls of what are unstable city systems, and the effects of urban rise in the Middle East on China and of urban rise on China on Europe. These are indicative of some of the effects of trade networks on the robustness of regional economies. Elements of a general theory of complex network dynamics connect to these oscillatory "structural demographic" instabilities. The measurements of instability use maximum likelihood estimates (MLE) of Pareto II curvature for city size distributions and of Pareto power-laws for the larger cities. Collapse in the q-exponential curve is observed in periods of urban system crisis. Pareto II is equivalent under reparameterization to the q- exponential distribution. Further interpretation of the meaning of changes in q-exponential shape and scale parameters has been explored in a generative network model of feedback processes that mimics, in the degree distributions of inter-city trading links, the shapes of city size distributions observed empirically. The MLE parameter estimates of size distributions are unbiased even for estimates from relatively few cities in a given period, They are sufficiently robust to support further research on historical urban system changes, such as on the dynamical linkage between trading networks and regional city-size distributions. The q-exponential results also allow the reconstruction of total urban population at different city sizes in successive historical periods. city systems in the last millennium

5 Michael Batty (Nature, Dec 6:), using some of the same data as do we for historical cities (Chandler 8), states (and cites) the case made here (in a previous article, ) for city system instability: It is now clear that the evident macro-stability in such distributions as urban rank-size hierarchies at different times can mask a volatile and often turbulent micro-dynamics, in which objects can change their position or rank-order rapidly while their aggregate distribution appears quite stable. Further, Our results destroy any notion that rank-size scaling is universal [they] show cities and civilizations rising and falling in size at many times and on many scales. Batty shows legions of cities in the top echelons of city rank being swept away as they are replaced by competitors, largely from other regions. city systems in the last millennium

7 City Size Distributions for Measuring Departures from Zipf construct and measure the shapes of cumulative city size distributions for the n largest cities from st rank size S to the smallest of size S n as a total population distribution T r for all people in cities of size S r or greater, where r=,n is city rank P(X x) Empirical cumulative citypopulation distribution r T r= i= r R Tr = i= S i Rank size power law M~S Mi α
8 For the top cities, fit the standard Pareto Distribution slope parameter, is beta (β) in P β (X x) = (x/xmin) -β (Xmin/x) β () To capture the curvature of the entire city population, fit the Pareto II Distribution shape and scale parameters theta and sigma (Ө,σ) to the curve shape q=+/ө.

20 Are there synchronies with Turchin et al Historical Dynamics? i.e., Goldstone s Structural Demography? E.g., Where population growth relative to resources result in sociopolitical instabilities (SPI) and intrasocietal conflicts; precipitating fall in population and settling of conflicts, then followed by a new period of growth. (secular cycles = operating at scale of centuries) Illustrate with an example from Turchin () and then relate to the city system shape dynamics. city systems in the last millennium

23 J. S. Lee measure of SPI for China region (internecine wars ) city systems in the last millennium 3
24 Interpretation: SPI conflict correlates with low β, a thin tail of elite cities (people migrate out of cities to smaller cities or zones of safety), with a more normal β restored in years. Shows the effect of internecine wars in China on city size distributions city systems in the last millennium 4
25 Interpretation: SPI conflict correlates with a higher ratio of q to (low) β, but as β recovers slightly in the next years instead of the q/β ratio going down q goes up relative to β as migrations re-shape the smaller city sizes, perhaps seeking refuge in mid-size cities. city systems in the last millennium
26 Conclusions: city systems in the last millennium City systems unstable; have historical periods of rise and fall over hundreds of years; exhibit collapse. Better to reject the Zipf s law of cities in favor of studying deviations from the Zipfian distribution, which can nevertheless be retained as a norm for comparison. It represents an equipartition of population over city sizes that differ by constant orders of magnitude, BUT ONLY FOR LARGER CITIES. Deviations from Zipf occur in two ways: () change in the log-log slope (β) of the power-law tail of city sizes () change in the curve away from a constant slope (q), also in where this change occurs (not presented here). TAILS AND BODIES OF CITY-SIZE DISTRIBUTIONS VARY INDEPENDENTLY. Both deviations are dynamically related to the structural demographic historical dynamics (SDHD). The SPI conflicts (e.g., internecine wars or periods of social unrest and violence) that interact in SDHD processes with population pressure on resources are major predictors of city-shape (β,q) changes that are indicators of city-system crisis or decline. City system growth periods in one region, which are periods of innovation, have time-lagged effects on less developed regions if there are active trade routes between them.

Gradual reduction in shifts until the Industrial Revolution. US shift lower, largest 83-. UK similar, with a - 6 suburbanization shift Gibrat law: proportionate random growth? P i (t) = [Г+ε i (t)] P i- (t), lognormal, becoming power-law with P i (t) > P min (t), i.e., losers eliminated Back to Batty: UK Gibrat s model provides universal scaling behavior for city size distributions but the rank clocks reveal very different micro-dynamics. Historical dynamics of proportionate random growth generating scalefree effects (in tails) can be informed from rank clocks, as for networks. Expected growth rate can be composed into overall growth and change at different spatial scales (information distance), enabling different systems (and types) to be integrated through a hierarchy of information hierarchies (Batty p. 3; 6; Theil ; Tsallis 88).
