摘要翻译：
许多大城市位于具有某些先天优势的地点。然而，这些外生的区位特征可能并不是支配城市空间格局的最强大的力量。特别是，城市的人口规模、间距和产业构成表现出简单、持久和单调的关系。经济集聚理论认为，这种规律性是内生集聚力和分散力相互作用的结果。本文回顾了现有的解释城市空间格局和规模分布的形式模型，并讨论了文献中有待回答的研究问题。为了获得关于城市空间模式的显式结果，一个模型需要偏离城市和区域经济学中最流行的两区域和城市系统框架，在这种框架中，区际距离没有变化。这也是文献中仅有很少正式模型被提出的主要原因之一。为了尽可能地从现存的理论中得出启示，本综述涉及对这些模型的多区域扩展行为的广泛讨论。本文还详细讨论了城市空间格局与城市规模多样性之间的联系机制。

英文摘要：
  Many large cities are found at locations with certain first nature advantages. Yet, those exogenous locational features may not be the most potent forces governing the spatial pattern of cities. In particular, population size, spacing and industrial composition of cities exhibit simple, persistent and monotonic relationships. Theories of economic agglomeration suggest that this regularity is a consequence of interactions between endogenous agglomeration and dispersion forces. This paper reviews the extant formal models that explain the spatial pattern together with the size distribution of cities, and discusses the remaining research questions to be answered in this literature. To obtain results about explicit spatial patterns of cities, a model needs to depart from the most popular two-region and systems-of-cities frameworks in urban and regional economics in which there is no variation in interregional distance. This is one of the major reasons that only few formal models have been proposed in this literature. To draw implications as much as possible from the extant theories, this review involves extensive discussions on the behavior of the many-region extension of these models. The mechanisms that link the spatial pattern of cities and the diversity in city sizes are also discussed in detail.
