This question is so urban, it's practically a skyscraper. I'm going to go with 1958 – it's the year the first urban growth boundary was established, or so I've heard from my city planning friends. Fingers crossed!

I'm going with 1959, just to mix it up a bit. Who knows, maybe it was the year after 1958!

I'm not sure, but I'll go with 1990. It sounds like a more recent year for a boundary to be established.

I think it's 1958 too, that's what I remember reading in my urban studies class.

Urban growth boundaries? Sounds like a fancy way to say 'we're running out of space'. I'll take a wild guess and say 1959, just to keep things interesting.

Urban growth boundaries, huh? Sounds like a real estate agent's dream. I'm gonna go with the later years, just to be on the safe side.

Ah, the good ol' days of urban planning. 1990 or 1991, eh? I'm sure it's one of those, but which one? Time to channel my inner city geek.

Hmm, urban growth boundaries? Sounds like a topic straight out of a city planner's playbook. Let's see, 1958 or 1959, eh? I'm going with my gut on this one.
