City Life

The biggest American cities are Los Angeles and New York . Los Angeles is well-known for Hollywood and its nearby beaches. New York has world-class restaurants, museums and concert halls.

Sometimes it seems as if American cities go on forever, with suburbs stretching for miles and miles. This is a situation known as ‘urban sprawl’. Government leaders are trying to work on ways to keep urban sprawl from spreading. The hope is that farmland and natural areas will be preserved by limiting urban sprawl.
