Kenya’s own list of its cities: the population of each urban centre as Thomas Brinkhoff: City Population (citypopulation.de), from KNBS (Kenya National Bureau of Statistics), census counts it (Kenya: Cities, Towns & Urban Centers (census, 2019-08-24), 24 August 2019), the way the country ranks its cities. A city that is not one of the list’s urban centres of 10,000 people or more is left out. Metro area, urban centre and city proper rank the same cities by the worldwide measures instead, so they compare across borders. One per group: the largest city of each county by this measure, then ranked together.
