Urbanization took place in England as early as the 17th century. Several factors contributed to the process. As farming in England began to need fewer farm hands and laws changed farmworkers rights, many looked to the cities. There they could see economic possibilities. The industrial revolution was in full swing and the cities had factories. In addition, England was blessed with a good number of excellent ports. Therefore many people migrated to cities like Liverpool, and London. They found work in the factories and on the docks and in the shipyards. Unlike larger nations in Europe such as France, there was not the same amount of living space in the ever growing population of England.
