Spanish term or phrase: , con independencia del tamaño, valor y función específicos
Extract from a tourist guide:

De manera que -exceptuando a La Habana- la distribución de la población urbana, más del 60%, sobre la superficie del territorio es relativamente homogénea, con independencia del tamaño, valor y función específicos de cada centro urbano.

irrespective of size, wealth or function
Explanation:
The word "específicos" seems superfluous to me.
Since the subject is urban centres, "wealth" seems the best translation of "valor", rather than "value". "Prosperity" would also be appropriate.
