Abstract From a historical view, there exists a natural connection between city and distribution. However, neither the various theories studying cities nor the distribution theory studying the process of distribution could develop a theoretical framework of the connection between the city and distribution. Based on the city network theory, this essay constructs a conceptual model of inter-city distribution, and studies the basic issues such as constitution of the inter-city distribution network and the development and evolutionary micro-dynamics of the network.
