Two types of equilibrium models of urban spatial structures are considered. An equilibrium version of the production-constrained spatial interaction model involving zonal-capacity constraints on allocation is investigated. A model of equilibrium for interacting subsystems is defined (it is a generalisation of Nash equilibria and of some Lowry-type models) and connections between this model and Nash equilibria are investigated. An entropy-projection operator is used for equilibrium urban models with zonal-capacity constraints. Problems of uniqueness of an equilibrium and the convergence of the iterative computational process are studied for these models.
