  ABSTRACT: To extend the kinetic formulation of city size distribution introduced in [1], the non-Maxwellian kinetic modeling is introduced in the present study, in which a variable collision kernel is used in the underlying kinetic equation of Boltzmann type. By resorting to the well-known grazing asymptotic, a kinetic Fokker-Planck counterpart is obtained. The equilibrium of the Fokker-Planck equation belongs to the class of generalized Gamma distributions. Numerical test shows good fit of the generalized Gamma distribution with the city size distribution of China.
