DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1. Why do cities emerge? How do vibrant (lively) cities attract people?
2. Why are the healthiest cities constantly changing? 3. How did the Industrial Revolution (early to mid-1800’s) affect cities in both Europe and the United States?
4. What do city planners consider as they attempt to account for the needs of the people who will live in a city? What are two possible results if city planners ignore these needs?
5. Thinking of the city you graphed, research what historical events may have influenced the rise and/or fall of its population. List at least two.
