N primate city (city within a primate system): central city containing the majority of the regional population. N cities are often divided into sectors such as production, service, transportation, residential, commercial, etc. N one way to analyse a city is as a centre of manufacture and service delivery. N manufacturing is one of the most important factors in urban growth; much of early urbanisation is driven by manufacture. N manufacture helps us define the development of urban systems and the emergence of metropolises. N manufacture also defines how city specialization occurs: a city specialises in one specific type o manufacture; this in turn helps us define growth rates as a result of specialisation. N manufacturing activity contributes to the growth of the labour market and the production of usable goods for trade and city use.
