Citations in the corpus

• Summing Small Cities Does Not Make a Large City: Polycentric Urban Regions and the Provision of Cultural, Leisure and Sports Amenities (2008, background): “Given the strong stability of urban systems over time (Batty, 2001), data for one year present a robust picture.”
• Departures from Gibrat's Law, Discontinuities and City Size Distributions (2007, background): “Batty (2001) speculates that growth is proportional to size, but the growth rates are random, which would ensure that there cannot be an unchanging steady state (for example, Zipf’s law) in city size distributions.”
• Alternative Explanations of Hierarchical Differentiation in Urban Systems (2006, background): “M. Batty (2001) used cellular automata to generate poly-nucleated urban areas.”
