Urban Geography
- Five Largest Cities: Gaborone, Francistown, Molepolole, Maun, Mogaditshane
- Largest City Population: 231,592
- Rank Size Rule: 2nd City-115,796, 3rd City-77,197, 4th City-57,898, 5th City-46,318
- Actual Populations of Next Four Cities: 2nd City-98,961, 3rd-66,466, 4th-60,263, 5th-50,820
- The Rank Size Rule is fairly accurate throughout all of the cities. There is not much difference between the estimated populations and the actual populations. The greatest difference is 16,835, which is not a large number. Granted that is a great amount of people. Relatively speaking however, it is not so great. Therefore, I believe that Botswana proves the Rank Size Rule valid.
