Abstract: This paper examines the recent developments in the Greek system of urban centres, in order to assess the validity of the view that trends of deconcentration have been in operation during the last decade. The estimation of the rank-size distribution function for all the post-war census years show that concentration trends were prevailing until the early 1980s. During the last decade however, stabilisation or even deconcentration trends have appeared with the faster development of smaller cities.
