The issue of the impact of plant size on urban growth is evaluated, using survey data employed in constructing an input-output table for Joinville, an isolated urban manufacturing city in Brazil. The study indicates that small and medium size plants are more favourable for urban growth than are larger plants. This is found to be true for backward and forward flows of goods and services, and for the labour force structure. These findings, along with those revealed in other studies referring to plant size, suggest a revision in the way that manufacturing industry, as an initiator of the urban growth process, is applied.

The urban population of Pakistan has grown almost fourfold,
over the last two decades. It is estimated that it will increase by 55.5
million by the year 2000 [Blacker (n.d.)]. The increases in urban
population is attributed to either continued rural to urban migration or
natural increase. As a consequence of the above increase in population
the urban living conditions are under great pressure. I~ is therefore
important to analyse the dimensions of urban growth and examine its
social and economic implications. The objectives of the present study
are: 1. To analyse the trends and variations in urban growth; 2. To
decompose the components of urban growth and analyse which component has
contributed more to urban growth; and 3. To analyse some of the
implications of urban growth.

Growth has been the characteristics of cities and towns in the developing world, taking over major fragment of non-built-up area within the urban centers. Therefore, requires proper and effective analysis. This study focused on the determinant of urban growth in Potiskum LGA of Yobe state, Nigeria using qualitative techniques to examine the determinants and effects of the spatial growth of Potiskum LGA. Data on the determinant and the effects of the spatial growth of Potiskum LGA was derived using question and Relative importance index (RII) was used to analyze and ranked the perception of respondents. Findings of the RII on the determinant and effects of the spatial growth of Potiskum LGA revealed that increase in population is the major determinant of the growth of the built-up land-use of the study area while increase in the cost of land within the LGA being the most influenced factor as a result of the spatial growth of the LGA. The study recommended that both state and federal Government should adopt and enforce integrated spatial techniques in monitoring and controlling urban growth, improved rural programs should be embarked so as to reduce rural-urban migration as well as intensified awareness on the importance of birth control.
