Urbanization changed American society because it changed the quintessential American life from an agricultural, settled life to that of an industrial fueled economy. This urbanization increased the GDP of the US which gave more wealth to the top fifth of American society, which developed into the same kind of quasi royalty by possessed capital that European nations already had.

Furthermore, urbanization also changed the dynamic of poverty in the US as the agrarian, pastoral means of settling social issues and solving social mores was for the most part gone and the a number of new social issues from child labor to pollution and the advent of new diseases and Immigration issues.

All in all, urbanization had a beneficial effect on American Society because it inevitably led to the current economic prosperity we are well acquainted with today, however it was not good for the bottom 3/5 of the American populace who lived it.
