Abstract
The spatial-cycle model is concerned with a series of stages (based on population changes) through which a given area is expected to pass. Two versions of this model are explored: the more common ‘standard version’ and a proposed ‘alternative version’. Taking a single-area perspective, consideration is given to the extent to which the sequence of stages within the spatial-cycle model is consistent with observed outcomes. The model is then examined from a system-wide perspective. It is concluded that although the spatial-cycle model is found wanting in a number of important respects, its apparent outright rejection does not seem warranted.
