Industrialization brought major change on a global scale and greatly promoted urbanization. Cities became filled with many buildings such as factories and a very large, crowded population, and pollution was not uncommon as trash often filled the streets, the air was quite dirty and the water supply contaminated as well. These are all some of the typical characteristics in a city during the industrial revolution
Industrialization in the nineteenth century transformed cities in several ways. It led to the growth of cities as manufacturing centers, resulting in increased population density and urban sprawl. Factories and infrastructure such as railroads and bridges altered the physical landscape of cities, leading to the development of industrial districts and a shift towards more organized urban planning.
The 19th-century industrialization had widespread effects on society, economy, and the environment. It led to urbanization as people moved from rural areas to cities in search of work, created new job opportunities while also exploiting workers with long hours and poor conditions, boosted economic growth but also widened the gap between rich and poor, and resulted in environmental degradation due to pollution and resource exploitation.
In the 19th century, about 80% of people in Britain lived and worked in the countryside. This figure began to decline with industrialization and the growth of urban centers. By the early 20th century, the majority of the population had shifted to urban areas.
More job opportunities in cities, better wages, and improved living conditions. The industrialization led to the growth of urban areas and attracted people seeking economic opportunities.
At the turn of the 20th century, cities were experiencing rapid industrialization and urbanization. They were crowded, dirty, and often lacked proper sanitation and infrastructure. Tenements and slums were common, and living conditions for many urban residents were poor. Government reforms and advancements in technology gradually improved city living conditions over the course of the century.
In the early nineteenth century, America's population experienced significant growth due to high birth rates and increased immigration from Europe. People settled in cities and towns along the East Coast before expanding westward in search of economic opportunities and land. This movement led to the rapid expansion of the country's population and contributed to the development of new territories and states.
