2. Every addition in numbers and expansion of the city area is
accompanied by the redistribution and re-allocation of the whole
population. Some elements are given a new locus, while others shift but
little as a result of the stimulus incident to the arrival of newcomers.
This redistribution of the city population has become a constantly
operating process in view of the constant growth of the city either
through natural increase of the population or through migration from
without.

“Density concerns itself with the number of people per unit of area;
distribution deals with the comparative study of density from area
to area; and arrangement considers the way in which people are
grouped. Grouping is the fundamental concept....” (I, 1; IV, 1; X,
