  1. Cities became smaller and more spread out as most major factories relocated to the countryside
  2. The separation of residential areas from commercial and industrial zones began
  3. Cities were redesigned with large parks to mimic the rural environment
  4. Most cities were abandoned entirely in favor of newly founded communal utopian societies
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The separation of residential areas from commercial and industrial zones began

As factories and businesses grew, the old pattern of living above one's shop largely disappeared. Wealthier residents moved away from the noise and pollution of the industrial center, leading to the early stages of urban sprawl and class-based geography.
