- A Proposal to Delineate Metropolitan Areas in Colombia Gilles Duranton Multidisciplinarias (Ciencias Sociales) Zipf’s Law Colombian cities municipal aggregation Delineation of metropolitan areas This paper discusses the need to delineate metropolitan areas and current practice in several countries. It argues for the use of a simple algorithm that examines cross-municipality commuting patterns. Municipalities are aggre - gated iteratively provided they send a share of their commuters, above a given threshold, to the rest of a metropolitan area.

Finally, the properties of the resulting spatial labor market networks are explored. 2015 artículo científico 0120-3584 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=169140726006 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1691 Desarrollo y Sociedad application/pdf Universidad de los Andes Desarrollo y Sociedad (Colombia) Num.75
