Original Question: How did the technology of the late 1800s affect the growth of cities?

Answer: Choice (D) or All of the Above

Reason:

  • They are all correct because the railroad allowed for faster transportation meaning that more people could live a little farther from the city center and still get to their respective places on time. Electric streetcars served the same purpose of railroads within the city center. Steel and metal technology advanced which gave way to a stronger building material that allowed for skyscrapers to exist.

Hope that helped!
