Answer 2

(c) It usually has a large number of residences and few factories.

Satellite cities are smaller cities that come around larger cities but are independent of them. Its main objective is to relieve pressure from the main city.

• It is smaller than the main city and is located nearby.

• Satellite cities are mostly bedroom communities or residential areas. People go to work in the main city and return to their homes in the satellite cities.
• Many satellite towns or cities do not encourage the setting up of high pollution generating industries and factories.
• Being physically separated from the metropolis by a wide corridor of rural land or even a river, satellite cities develop their own urbanized area in the course of time.

Hence, large number of residence and few factories is not a characteristic of a satellite city
