The city of San
Fernando is an urban area that is only about 20 miles away from one of the
world’s largest metropolitan areas. In 2010, it was estimated that Los Angeles
was one of the most populated cities in the United States with a total
population of 9,819,000 people. There have been large amounts of development in
the region and urban sprawl. Los Angeles
is known as being part of a Megalopolis region meaning that it is a very large
city.
The following map shows where the
biggest concentration of the population is located. It is easy to see that the
coastal Southern region of California has the densest population. With the
proximity of the City of San Fernando to the Megalopolis of southern
California, it is easy for the residents of San Fernando to get caught up in
life of a metropolitan area. This includes traffic, pollution, land changes,
and high population density. Many residents of San Fernando look for work in
the metropolitan area of Los Angeles and its surrounding cities.
