Answer: Philadelphia was one of the first eastern cities to be planned rather than be settled haphazardly

Explanation: Although it is the biggest city in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia has some features that are more commonly seen in smaller towns such as green spaces and broad streets. These features were deliberately planned by the city's founder William Penn. The streets, the architecture and its green spaces date back to the founding of the city. The parks form a system that is unique and the largest in the country, taking up about 10,000 acres in total.
