Thông tin trong bài: “The main difference between urban growth in Europe and in the American colonies was the slow evolution of cities in the former and their rapid growth in the latter. In Europe they grew over a period of centuries from town economies to their present urban structure. In North America, they started as wilderness communities and developed to mature urbanism’s in little more than a century.” (Sự khác biệt chính giữa sự phát triển đô thị ở Châu Âu và ở các thuộc địa Mỹ là sự phát triển chậm của các thành phố trước và sự phát triển nhanh của các thành phố sau đó. Ở Châu Âu, chúng đã phát triển qua hàng thế kỉ từ các kinh tế đô thị đến cấu trúc đô thị hiện tại. Ở Bắc Mỹ, chúng (các thành phố) ngay từ ban đầu như các vùng hoang dã và đã phát triển thành các đô thị lớn mạnh chỉ hơn 1 thế kỉ.)
Do đó: they = cities
