Слайд 39Rank-Size Rule
Population of city is inversely proportional to its rank in

the urban hierarchy.
For example:
Largest city = Population 12 million
2nd largest = Population 6 million
3rd largest = Population 4 million
4th largest = Population 3 million
Does not work in regions with primate cities
