Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is the best choice because Park's theory of the city was heavily influenced by the ecological approach, which emphasized the importance of understanding the physical and social organization of urban environments. Park believed that the city could be studied as a natural ecosystem, with different groups and communities competing for resources and adapting to their environment in different ways. This approach helped to shape his ideas about the social dynamics of urban life, including the role of migration, social distance, and cultural diversity. While social psychological, political economic, and historical factors may also be relevant to understanding urban life, they are not emphasized as strongly in Park's work as the ecological approach.
