A sociographic and socioeconomic analysis of the population movement and increase from 1880 to 1950 is given. A typology is made of different parts of the country, and a criterion is given for a classification of urbanized municipalities. The agglomerates and the city regions are briefly described. Apart from the relative increase in population density of the cities since 1880 there appears a concentration in a few large cities, and a deconcentration of the total urban population in a larger area.
