In suburban areas, the earliest cities were located on waterfronts. How might new changes in transportation affect the location of the cities.

Question

I know new transportation meaning automobiles, streetcar lines, etc.

Answer 1

I don't know what they mean by this question. Because workplaces in the cities were clustered near the waterfront and homes were nearby so people could walk from home and work, and also goods and people could travel more easily and quickly over water than on land.

Answer 2

The first phrase doesn't fit. "In suburban areas" ... and they they discuss cities.

Please ask your instructor what all this mish-mash means.

Answer 3

I am sorry I did not mean to add the suburban areas. That came later on. Right now I have to focus on the waterfront cities and how new changes in transportation affected the location of the cities. My guess is because since they were by water, automobiles and streetcar lines weren't relevant to them..

Answer 4

The railroads created lots of new ways to transport people and goods as well. Be sure to look up the history of railroads in the US.
