Discussion The pattern of urban expansion is clear. Each new mode of transportation increased travel speed and thus reduced travel times, enabling people to move farther away from the city center. Today, cities often have multiple business districts, some of them at or near the outer edges of the city. This raises the question of what happens when cities that are in close proximity expand outward. The answer is Megalopolis. The largest settlement agglomeration in the United States, located on the East Coast and home to more than 40 million people, was the nation's first Megalopolis. Refer to the map below to answer the questions that follow. Part F Which of these pairs of cities are the endpoints of the original U.S. Megalopolis? Boston, Massachusetts, and Washington, DC Cincinnati, Ohio, and Louisville, Kentucky Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona Tampa and St. Petersburg, Florida Chicago, Illinois, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin Part G More than half of the urban population of Canada is located in the “Main Street” corridor. Check the map and identify which of these sets of cities are located in Canada's "Main Street" corridor. Which of these sets of cities are located in Canada’s “Main Street” corridor? Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto Saskatoon, Regina, and Winnipeg Vancouver, Seattle, and Portland Quebec, St. John, and Halifax Edmonton and Calgary Part H Based on the population map below and your knowledge of the U.S. Megalopolis and Canada’s Main Street, which three of the following statements are probably true? Check all that apply. a)Salt Lake City, Utah, and Denver, Colorado, are set to become the next Megalopolis. b) Improved transportation played a role in the development of the Megalopolis. c) There can be only one Megalopolis. d) The highest population densities in both Canada and the United States are found on or near the east coast. e) Most of Canada’s largest cities and most of its population are located near the U.S. border.
