On the basis of assessment data on land prices in Danish city areas, a model showing land rent gradients approximated by a third degree polynomial is estimated for 48 individual Danish cities. The intra-urban structure is connected to an inter-urban model by the expansion method, where the coefficients of the individual towns are functions of town population size and town income level.
