Part 3. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer by writing the corresponding
letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet.
The principal difference between urban growth in Europe and in the American colonies was the slow
evolution of cities in the former and their rapid growth in the latter.In Europe they grew over a period of
centuries from town economies to their present urban structure. In North America, they started as
wilderness communities and developed to mature urbanism’s in little more than a century.
In the early colonial day in North America, small cities sprang up along the Atlantic Coastline, mostly
in what are now New America, small cities sprang up along the Atlantic United States and in the lower
Saint Lawrence valley in Canada. This was natural because these areas were nearest England and
France, particularly England, from which most capital goods (assets such as equipment) and many
consumer goods were imported Merchandising establishments were, accordingly, advantageously
located in port cities from which goods could be readily distributed to interior settlements. Here, too,
were the favored locations for processing raw materials prior to export. Boston, Philadelphia, New
York, Montreal, and other cities flourished, and, as the colonies grew, these cities increased in
importance.
This was less true in the colonial South, where life centered around large farms, known as plantations,
rather than around towns, as was the case in the areas further north along the Atlantic coastline. The
local isolation and the economic self-sufficiency of the plantations were antagonistic to the
development of the towns. The plantations maintained their independence because they were located on
navigable streams and each had a wharf accessible to the small shipping of that day. In face, one of the
strongest factors in the selection of plantation land was the desire to have it front on a water highway.
When the United States became an independent nation in 1776, it did not have a single city as large as
50,000 inhabitants, but by 1820 it had a city of more than 10,000 people, and by 1880 it had recorded a
city of over one million. It was not until after 1823, after the mechanization of the spinning had
weaving industries, that cities started drawing young people away from farms. Such migration was
particularly rapid following the Civil War (1861-1865).
