Abstract: ABSTRACT Lowry's (1966) study about in and out‐migration rates started a series of discussions on pull and push effects, net migration, and urban growth. This paper presents the results of a similar study, done In Turkey, that tests whether Lowry's hypothesis is valid for developing countries. The results of this study indicate that, for the Turkish case, the effects of migration on urban growth had been contrary to those found in the developed countries, but that, as Turkish development increased over the time period 1965–85, the effects of migration increasingly came to resemble those of developed countries.
