Our findings demonstrate that urban scaling is in large part a story about inequality in cities, implying that the causal processes underlying the heavier tails in larger cities must be considered in explanations of urban scaling. This result also shows that agglomeration effects benefit urban elites...

Considering the comparison to Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) in the USA [22], a consistent definition of functional cities, and previous studies in China [15,22,31], urban scaling estimation methods and results are explored using data aggregated at the municipal district (“shixiaqu”) ...
Urban scaling laws describe powerful universalities of the scaling relationships between urban attributes and the city size across different countries and times. There are still challenges in precise statistical estimation of the scaling exponent; the pr
