In which situation can urban sprawl be linked with population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When housing and land demand for a growing population spreads to outer areas

Correct answer: A. Urban sprawl is the outward expansion of built-up areas from a city into nearby rural or less-developed land. Population growth can increase the need for houses, roads, schools and other facilities. When land inside the city is limited or costly, construction and settlement may move towards the outskirts. Option B is wrong because an empty city does not create outward housing pressure. Option C is wrong because zero housing demand cannot cause expansion. Option D is wrong because a complete return to villages would reduce pressure on the city rather than spread it outward. The link is not automatic in every place; planning, transport and land prices also influence sprawl. Memory cue: more people plus outward land demand can produce sprawl.
