Rank Size Rule Explanation:
Rank size rule applies to an extent, but the layout of the top five cities being rather close in population does not fit the rank size rule. The extent to which it applies is that they are not exactly the same but the amounts are within reason. However, the rate of decrease is much slower in the actual as compared to the model.According to these findings the rank size rule is proven invalid.
