- Rank Size Rule
Shanghai=11,000,000(Estimate)
Chongqing=7,333,334(Estimate)
Tianjin=5,500,000(Estimate)
Chengdu=4,400,000(Estimate)
Actual Population:
Shanghai=19,210,000
Chongqing=14,749,200
Tianjin=12,281,600
Chengdu=11,000,670
The rank size rule is invalid based on these results due to inaccurate estimates. The estimates for these five cities was about half as much the actual population is. From this I can assume that this rule can be applied to only U.S. cities. Which comes to show that models that are based on U.S. geography are aren't as applicable to the rest of the world. That's why I think this rule is proven invalid.
