Add to ORKGOptimal City Size Theory has been superseded by new paradigms, such as the supply-oriented dynamic approach or the city network. Nevertheless, several aspects remain to be considered. First, the quality of life concept, which in many models enters into utility functions of households, can be addressed in a different way. We test the importance of city size in the growth of cities. We test it empirically in a local dynamic framework, the city of Barcelona (Spain), in the period 1991-2000
