Originally published in 1986, this comprehensive volume explores the intricate relationship between geographical modelling of population change and demographic analysis of population structures and patterns. These two interconnected strands are skillfully woven into three pivotal review chapters, which serve as a comprehensive summary of the study of spatial and temporal patterns of population, the modelling of spatial populations, and the estimation of population processes. The findings presented in this remarkable work encompass a wide range of insightful discoveries. These include an in-depth account of the demographic transition, a dispelling of the myth of "no fertility rises in the developing world in the 20th Century," the development of a theory of population accounting, the prediction of migration flows for a system of regions, the utilization of microsimulation methods to model population change, and the integration of demographic and economic processes within an urban region model.

This groundbreaking volume offers a wealth of knowledge and insights into the complex dynamics of population change, shedding light on the patterns, processes, and factors that shape our world. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners alike, providing a foundation for understanding and addressing the challenges posed by population growth and development in the 21st century.
