l'allométrie est une notion centrale de la théorie générale des systèmes. Du même coup toutefois, elle doit s'attacher à leurs propriétés particulières (...) la théorie de la croissance allométrique permet donc d'intégrer en un même paradigme l'analyse spatiale (forme et croissance) et la géographie de comportement. (Cahiers de géographie, 1975, vol 19, no 46, p. 7) 1, record 3, French, - allom%C3%A9trie
