d

Answer 2

The chapter is built around the concept of a transformation from an undifferentiated walking city to a functionally specialized city built around mass transportation. Although this is a difficult concept, better students ought to get the big picture. The development of transportation enabled affluent residents to set up residential districts on the city's perimeter, districts that were usually incorporated into the city proper. Downtown areas became more expensive, leading to the creation of high-rent central business districts that forced industry to the periphery. Because workers could not afford the transportation costs, they had to live within walking distance from their places of employment, creating working-class neighborhoods, generally differentiated by ethnicity.
