Comparing the patterns of commercial space and residential space, which of the following examples is the weakest fit for the Burgess concentric zone model?

• Urban areas such as London that developed before the Industrial Revolution, where a medieval city center is surrounded by increasingly expensive housing

• Urban areas such as the San Francisco Bay area, where there are multiple centers of employment and multiple areas of high-income residences

• Cities such as Philadelphia, where residents may be willing to commute long distances in order to live in lower-cost housing

• Twin cities such as Minneapolis-Saint Paul, where two Industrial-Era central business districts are surrounded by increasingly expensive housing

• Cities such as Toronto, where waves of historical migrations have prompted the expansion of high-income housing on the outer edges of the city

The following chart is an example of

Which of the following best explains the rapid development of edge cities in the United States Southwest in comparison with other regions of the United States?

• Edge cities have not developed in the Midwest region of the United States because residents abandoned the suburbs and moved into the inner cities for less-expensive housing and for jobs that required less commuting.

• Edge cities have developed in the Southeast region of the United States, but growth is limited because the government has zoned out commercial buildings at the edge of suburban areas.

• Edge cities have not developed in the Mountain West region of the United States because the rugged terrain cannot accommodate large-scale building projects necessary for edge city development; residential development is limited to small villages and remote cabins.

• Edge cities have not developed in the New England region of the Unites States because the severe winter weather makes it too expensive to heat large commercial buildings.

• Edge cities developed rapidly in the Southwest region of the United States because large numbers of people migrated from the Midwest for the warmer climate and for the jobs resulting when corporations relocated for financial incentives.

• A tech company is headquartered in a more developed country, but its customer service center is located in a less developed country.
