Between 1945-1975, several significant urban transformations occurred in Canadian cities. The correct answer choices from your list are:
1. **The first office skyscrapers** - This period saw the rise of modernist architecture and the construction of iconic office buildings in downtown areas.
2. **The concentration of office, retail, and services in the downtown area** - Many Canadian cities experienced a focus on developing their downtown cores, making them hubs for business and retail.
3. **The creation of automobile dependent landscapes** - Post-war urban planning heavily favored automobile transportation, leading to sprawling developments and infrastructure designed for car travel.
4. **Increased urban dispersion** - This period also included suburban expansion, often resulting in the decentralization of urban populations and the spread of residential areas away from city centers.
