Answer:

kindly check the explanation section.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word ''sprawl'' as it is related to people and population simply means an irregular expansion and the word ''urban'' simply means a city. So, putting both together as "urban sprawl" simply means an irregular expansion of cities or town.
