Many questions that population brought are not because of the total scale of population, but the centralization of population. This paper generalized the tide of the centralization of population under different space in Taiwan by the perspective of population density. First, we organized the population density and the average growth rate of 358 urban townships from 1955 to 2007, and turned it into population density map, growth rate graph, and population density trends over the years to observe the change. By the population density trends over the years, we found out the phenomenon of declining from 1967 to 1976. This result proved that industrialization speeded up people’s gathering from the counties to the cities; this made the difference of the population density larger between towns and countries. Besides, by observing the population density map, we can see the scale of the density of Taiwan’s metro area appears to spread out obviously, and the center of metro area was declined because it was saturated. Moreover, whether the extension is the pattern of concentric zone model or not, part of the reasons depends on the position of the cities what the higher level of cities are.
