True

False

 

^Answer:

^True

Explanation

Urban sprawl is the unrestricted growth in many urban areas of housing, commercial development, and roads over large expanses of land, with little concern for urban planning.

Indeed, low income people, particularly children and teenagers, might not be able to afford private recreation facilities and programs that charge high fees and to travel long distances to access parks outside of their neighborhood hence the low-income groups are abandoned in the core because they cannot afford a car based lifestyle.
