Abstract

In this paper we verify the possibility of implementing a regional comparative analysis between two systems, the State of Rio de Janeiro and the Campania Region. Primarily, we defined the boundaries of analysis area. Then, we will provide a comparison of the hierarchical structure of the two systems of cities, applying the rank-size distribution or Zipf’s law on the top 15 cities of each one. Finally, we will analyze the specificity of each system and the metropolitan areas of Rio de Janeiro and Naples.
