Question 5 • W Geography_B_IC

Which of the following statements describes the best example of how colonization influenced urban design?

Answer
A
Former retail centers have been replaced by large malls.
B
Former ports of trade have been replaced by upscale restaurants.
C
Former centers of colonial government are now international business districts.
D
Former centers of slave trade have been converted into ornate churches.

Explanation

Colonial powers often built administrative centers around government offices, military facilities, and major roads. After independence, these central areas commonly became the location of modern offices and international businesses, so former centers of colonial government becoming international business districts is the best example. The other choices describe changes to particular types of places but do not show this common influence of colonial planning on a city’s central business area.
