The study of all macroeconomic reality needs a previous analysis of its internal structure. To that end, it is necessary to analyse urban economy, location and dimension of cities, urban conglomerates and their unilateral and multilateral bearing. To define the optimum of cities dimensions, it is necessary to analyse urban structure –concentric sectors or zones and their respective influence areas, confirming REILLY's statement: when the distance between big and small cities increases, attraction forces of little towns are enlarged.
