Abstract: Abstract Urban areas1 are, in general, inclined to change dynamically: there is no question about that. An interest in this would lead us to examine the wonder of the dynamic processes of urban growth and decline. The primary purpose of this chapter is to obtain an exploratory insight into this wonder, through the window of the analytical method used in the ROXY Index and the theoretical framework of the spatial-cycle hypothesis.2 With this intention, we first examine the spatial redistribution processes of population in approximately thirty of the largest cities in Japan, Indonesia, Sweden and the USA. Second, based on the results of the above examination, we investigate the chronological time-lags appearing to exist among the four countries with respect to spatial-cycle stages observed concerning their city systems.
