Abstract

This paper aims at demonstrating how regional governance plays a crucial role on urban concentration and spatial justice. The paper presents the “The Zipf’s Curve” estimates for the South Asian countries and maps for India and Pakistan the various city regions in relation to the estimated Curve. The analysis of the results indicate that the spatial distribution of rents of natural resources and from public transferences do have a role in the spatial distribution of wealth. Summing up, there are signs that governance influences spatial justice governance specifically by the spatial allocation of property rights over natural resources and by the spatial distribution of public spending.
