Which of the following would be considered an advantage of increased urban sprawl? A As individuals move out of urban areas to nearby suburbs, the population densities of cities will decrease, reducing the spread of infectious disease. B As new homes are built in suburban areas.the cost of materials will decrease. (ii) reducing the need to clear-cut old-growth forests. C As urban sprawl increases the availability of land for farming and wildlife habitats will decrease, increasing the loss of biodiversity. D As more individuals live in suburbs and work in cities, transportation methods (D) will change, reducing the amount of carbon dioxide emitted

Question

Which of the following would be considered an advantage of increased urban sprawl? A As individuals move out of urban areas to nearby suburbs, the population densities of cities will decrease, reducing the spread of infectious disease. B As new homes are built in suburban areas.the cost of materials will decrease. (ii) reducing the need to clear-cut old-growth forests. C As urban sprawl increases the availability of land for farming and wildlife habitats will decrease, increasing the loss of biodiversity. D As more individuals live in suburbs and work in cities, transportation methods (D) will change, reducing the amount of carbon dioxide emitted

Answer 1

The correct answer is:A As individuals move out of urban areas to nearby suburbs, the population densities of cities will decrease, reducing the spread of infectious disease.Explanation: One potential advantage of increased urban sprawl is that as people move from densely populated urban areas to less dense suburban areas, it can lead to a reduction in the spread of infectious diseases due to lower population densities. This can be seen as a public health benefit. The other options do not present clear advantages:- B is incorrect because increased construction typically leads to higher demand for materials, which may not necessarily reduce costs or the need for resources like forests.- C is incorrect because it describes a disadvantage of urban sprawl, namely the loss of land for farming and wildlife habitats, leading to decreased biodiversity.- D is incorrect because increased commuting from suburbs to cities often results in more transportation emissions, not less, unless there are significant changes in transportation methods.
