Question 4 During the walking-Horsecar Era between 1800 and 1890 is the period when lighter street rails were installed which eliminated the problems of unpaved roadways and enabled horse-cars to be hauled at high speeds. In this era mobility was enhanced through a narrow band of land to be opened for new home construction at the city’s edge. During the electric Streetcar Era (1890-1920), the greatest impact was the swift residential development of the urban fringe. These fringes amplified the developing metropolis into a spatial entity. During this period, the housing standards increased and streetcar suburbs increased with respect to distance from the central-city line. During the Recreational Automobile Era (1920-1945) the city was able to grow to its zenith and metropolitan development centralized in the urban areas which greatly rebelled against unification of the city. At this era automobiles were adapted at the densely populated urban areas.

At this phase, the development process varies from a smaller to large neighborhood scale. However, the sequence of development stages of the development of the facilities and sequences should be flexible. The development processes need to designate employment areas where the activities will vary from service, office, trade and manufacturing activities.
