List of Botswana Cities and Towns with Population

Botswana’s urban population is heavily concentrated in Gaborone and Francistown, which together account for the majority of city residents. Mining towns such as Selibe-Phikwe, Jwaneng, Orapa, and Sowa remain smaller but economically significant, reflecting their specialized industrial roles rather than broad urban expansion. Across all listed towns, females slightly outnumber males, a pattern consistent with national demographic trends.
