我们回顾并检验了Fujita和Ogawa[区域科学与城市经济12(1982)161196]的城市空间结构模型。核心理论预测是，就业副中心的数量随着人口和通勤成本的增加而增加。对美国62个大型城市地区的简单泊松回归为这一理论提供了强有力的支持，仅这两个变量就占了亚中心数量变化的近80%。结果表明：低拥堵城市区域在人口达到268万时形成第一副中心，在人口达到674万时形成第二副中心；(C) 2003 Elsevier Science（美国）版权所有。
We review and test Fujita and Ogawa's [Regional Science and Urban Economic 12 (1982) 161196] model of urban spatial structure. The central theoretical prediction is that the number of employment subcenters rises with population and commuting costs. Simple Poisson regressions for a sample of 62 large American urban areas provide strong support for the theory, and these two variables alone account for nearly 80% of the variation in the number of subcenters. The results imply that an urban area with low congestion develops its first subcenter when its population reaches 2.68 million and its second subcenter at a population of 6.74 million.
