Singer was the first to draw attention to the fact that the Pareto Law (originally employed to describe income inequality) could also be applied to the size distribution of urban centres. His argument was illustrated with evidence from seven nations at various points in time. As part of his study, Singer attempted to demonstrate two propositions relating to the Pareto distribution of centre size. One was that the populations of larger centres could be described by the Pareto distribution, while the other was that the populations of the smaller (non-urban) centres would also conform to this distribution. It is argued that neither proposition can be regarded as valid.

辛格和帕累托分布:注意事项
辛格是第一个提请注意帕累托定律(最初用于描述收入不平等)也可以应用于城市中心规模分布这一事实的人。他的论点得到了来自七个国家不同时间点的证据的说明。作为研究的一部分,辛格试图证明与中心大小的帕累托分布有关的两个命题。一个是较大中心的人口可以用帕累托分布来描述,而另一个是较小(非城市)中心的人口也符合这种分布。有人认为,这两个命题都不能被视为有效。
