City size distributions are known to be well approximated by power laws across a wide range of countries. But such distributions are also meaningful at other spatial scales, such as within certain regions of a country. Using data from China, France, Germany, India, Japan, and the US, we first document that large cities are significantly more spaced out than would be expected by chance alone. We next construct spatial hierarchies for countries by first partitioning geographic space using a given number of their largest cities as cell centers, and then continuing this partitioning procedure within each cell recursively. We find that city size distributions in different parts of these spatial hierarchies exhibit power laws that are again far more similar than would be expected by chance alone -- suggesting the existence of a spatial fractal structure.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures
