In a study of historical urban planning, researchers examined the growth of 'Garden Cities.' planners prioritized concentric rings of greenbelt land to limit urban sprawl.

| City | Greenbelt (%) | Pop. Density (per/km^2) |

| :--- | :--- | :--- |

| Letchworth | 42 | 850 |

| Welwyn | 38 | 920 |

| Stockley | 15 | 2,400 |

Which statement regarding the relationship between land use and density is most reasonably inferred?

  1. The Garden City model is the only effective method for preventing modern cities from exceeding a density of 1,000 people per km^2.
  2. There is a strong inverse correlation between the preservation of greenbelt land and the resulting population density of the city.
  3. Letchworth and Welwyn were more successful than Stockley because their densities remained below 1,000 people per km^2.
  4. Urban planners in Stockley were fundamentally opposed to the core tenets of the Garden City movement.
