If a city fails to meet its threshold, what does this mean? (1 point)

Question

• It is not economically feasible for its market area to purchase goods and services from it.
• The population levels of the area have exceeded its food production for it to be viable.
• The population it provides for lives too far away for it to remain relevant in the area.
• The population grew to such a number that it needed to be considered a global city.

Answer 1

If a city fails to meet its threshold, the most appropriate interpretation would be:

• It is not economically feasible for its market area to purchase goods and services from it.

This implies that the city does not have enough demand or population to support the level of goods and services typically offered, making it economically unsustainable.
