Miles Diehl 3rd Period Urban Geography "Cities still where the jobs are, says RBA." Australian [National, Australia] 16 May 2014: 35. Global Issues In Context. Web. 25 May 2014. This article talks about urban sprawl happening in Australia?s urban areas. It talks about how advancements in telecommunications aren?t large enough to allow for city suburb business. This means the central business district is still the place with the highest job density and this means much higher cost of city homes close to the CBD. In the article it says ?"While telecommunicating on some days might avoid at least some travel time, jobs are showing even greater tendency to congregate in existing centers," said RBA head of financial stability Luci Ellis?.

Chapter 19 I. Urbanization A. Industrial Sources of City Growth 1. Until the Civil War, cities were centers of commerce, and factories were largely rural. 2. With the invention of the steam engine and the use of coal as a fuel, factories relocated to the places most convenient to suppliers and markets. a. The growth of factories contributed to urban growth; large factories employing many workers created small cities within their vicinities. 4. Many firms set up their plants near a large city so that they could draw on the city?s labor supply and transportation systems. 5. Sometimes a metropolis spread and absorbed nearby factory towns; elsewhere, the lines between industrial towns blurred and an extended urban-industrial area
