Answer:
There was a tremendous lack of space.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cities are around for thousands of years and the first city was settled in Mesopotamia between 4000 and 3000 B.C.
There was not much space in the early city life and people were unable to find space to live or to built homes. It is so because houses were compact and fewer plain spaces to built homes.
Hence, the correct answer is "There was a tremendous lack of space".
