式中，d为距离市中心x处的人口密度d， do为外推的中心密度，b为密度梯度，表示密度随距离减小的速率，呈负指数递减。然而，尽管最近受到了理论和实证两方面的关注，尽管克拉克明确地将他的主题确定为城市地理学的范畴（事实上，这些想法的萌芽可以在马克·杰斐逊（MarkJefferson）于19092年的工作中找到），但这个主题和克拉克的启发性和基础性贡献仍然被地理学家忽视。例如，在《城市地理学读物》中，克拉克的论文没有一个参考文献。显然，有必要对克拉克的工作进行仔细的回顾，特别是考虑到穆特、韦斯、斯图尔特和沃恩茨、阿隆索、温斯伯勒、贝克曼等人最近的相关贡献这是
where d, is population density d at distance x from the city center, do is central density, as extrapolated, and b is the density gradient, indicating the rate of diminution of density with distance, a negative exponential decline. However, despite much recent attention, both theoretical and empirical, and despite Clark's clear identification of his topic as lying within the province of urban geography (indeed, the germ of these ideas is to be found in the work of MarkJefferson in 19092), both the topic and Clark's stimulating and fundamental contribution remain neglected by geographers. For example, not a single reference to Clark's paper appears in "Readings in Urban Geography."3 There is evidently a need for a careful review of Clark's work, especially in the light of the recent related contributions of Muth, Weiss, Stewart and Warntz, Alonso, Winsborough, Beckmann, and others.4 This is
