Suburbanization is a result of variation in two theoretically elemental aspects of urban population distribution, congestion and concentration, which can be derived from ecological theory about the structure of the city. Measures of these aspects need not vary together; variation in either may lead to increase in the areal size of the population agglomeration. Both are related to the population size of the agglomeration. Variables suggested by the ecological theory of the structure of the city are associated with variation in the aspects of suburbanization.
