Answer: Planned cities in the United States.

Step-by-step explanation:

Planned cities are those that were meticulously designed from its conception and are usually built in a previously undeveloped area.

William Penn designed a city on the Delaware River to be used as a port and the location of government. Penn outlined roads as part of a plan to keep houses and businesses spread considerably apart, with spaces for fields and farms. However, the city's settlers did not follow Penn's ideas, and they gathered by the Delaware River port and partitioned and resold their properties.

Philadelphia was one of the first planned cities in the United States. Option A is correct.

Pjiladelphia is the largest city in the U.S. state and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the sixth-most populous U.S. city. William Penn, an English Quaker, founded the city in 1682 to serve as capital of the Pennsylvania Colony. Philadelphia is also the economic and cultural anchor of the greater Delaware Valley, located along the lower Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers, within the Northeast megalopolis.
