✔ Sorting the Images:

#### 🏙️ URBAN (City life)
These images represent city environments with dense populations, tall buildings, and public transit.

1. Train at subway station – Public transportation common in cities → URBAN
2. Large crowd of people – High population density typical of cities → URBAN
3. Skyscrapers skyline – Tall buildings are urban features → URBAN
4. Heavy traffic with many cars and trucks – City traffic congestion → URBAN

> ✔ URBAN Column:
> - Subway train
> - Crowd of people
> - Skyscrapers
> - Traffic jam

#### 🏡 SUBURBAN (Outskirts of cities, residential neighborhoods)
These show homes, cars, and some greenery but not farming or large cities.

1. "Drive to Work" car – A person commuting from a suburban home to work → SUBURBAN
2. Neighborhood with houses and a bus – Residential area with roads and public transport → SUBURBAN
