Question 79 • W Geography_B_IC

Which of the following statements best describes organic city growth?

Answer

An organic city is organized in concentric rings around an epicenter or downtown area; the wealthier live farthest from the city center, and the poor live closest to factories or industrialized areas.

An organic city follows a grid pattern, and streets are organized according to the cardinal directions.

An organic city is one that developed in response to immediate supply and demand and has unpredictable road patterns and layouts.

An organic city is one that incorporates many open, green park spaces that invite recreation and encourage health.

Explanation

Organic city growth happens gradually in response to local needs, such as changing supply and demand, rather than following a planned design. As a result, roads and neighborhoods often develop in irregular, unpredictable patterns. Choice C describes this; a grid layout or planned green spaces are features of intentional city planning.
