本文考虑了用于区分城市与城市以及城市与非城市的不同系统和变量。从小说家和社会评论家到社会学家、经济学家、地理学家和社会心理学家，对城市描述和分类的各种方法进行了回顾。区分有关测量的社会变量使用客观和主观的数据，并考虑在解释人际取向和行为的贡献和问题。在考虑这两种取向的相对有用性时，我们认为它们是互补的，而不是相互竞争的描述系统。每一种都可能与不同类型的行为和结果相关，这两种形式的数据之间的相互作用可能被证明在解释所有城市行为方面最有用。
This paper considers the differing systems and variables used to distinguish city from city, and city from non‐city. A wide variety of approaches to urban description and classification are reviewed, ranging from those of the novelist and social critic to those of the sociologist, economist, geographer and social psychologist. A distinction is made concerning the measurement of community variables using objective and subjective data; and the contributions and problems of each in explaining interpersonal orientations and behavior is considered. In considering the relative usefulness of these two orientations, it is suggested that they are complementary rather than competing systems of description. Each may be relevant to differing kinds of behaviors and outcomes, and it is the interaction between these two forms of data that is likely to prove most useful in explaining the full range of urban behaviors.
