4. This phenomenon, called urban sprawl, is not new to North America.
In 1955, Phoenix was a small city in the Arizona desert, encompassing only 17 square miles and having a population of only 107,000 people. By 1994, it had grown to about 450 square miles with a population of nearly 1,100,000. This means that Phoenix’s 1994 population was about 10 times its 1955 population, while the city’s area was more than 26 times larger. In fact by 1995, Phoenix was rapidly expanding into the desert at the rate of one acre per hour!
This phenomenon, called urban sprawl, is not new to North America.
