Abstract: We analyze the main determining features of the evolution of the urbanization rate and of the urban primacy rate in developing countries, which is a bone of contention in the literature. We show that urbanization rate and urban primacy present specific trajectories according to the different stages of economic development. We also discuss the particular impact of openness on urban concentration.
