Steamboats, and trains mostly. trains could move enough food fast enough (to avoid spoilage) for an area to artificially support a population greater than it's carry capacity. Subarbs really didn't expand that much until the post WWII boom years though
infrastructure and jobs
Governments benefited growing cities by investing in infrastructure, such as transportation, sanitation, and public services, which facilitated economic development and improved living conditions. They also implemented policies that encouraged industrial growth and attracted businesses, leading to job creation. Additionally, urban areas often received more attention in terms of education and healthcare, which further supported their expansion and enhanced their appeal to residents and investors. Overall, these government efforts helped cities thrive and become vital economic hubs.
President Harry S. Truman supported financial aid for cities primarily through initiatives like the Housing Act of 1949, which aimed to improve urban housing and infrastructure. This legislation provided federal funding for public housing projects and urban renewal programs to revitalize deteriorating neighborhoods. Additionally, Truman's administration promoted the establishment of the Federal Urban Renewal Program, which helped cities acquire funding for redevelopment efforts, aiming to address the post-war housing crisis and promote economic growth in urban areas.

Improvements in agriculture led to increased food production, which in turn supported larger populations. This population growth created a demand for goods and services, which helped spur the growth of cities as centers for trade, industry, and governance. Additionally, agriculture advancements freed up labor from rural areas, drawing people to urban centers in search of new opportunities.
After World War II, there was an expansion of the population. This caused the need for more housing and other needs of people. Most people resorted to homes outside the cities like suburbs because there it was cheaper. These places were called "bedroom communities". Every community in the suburbs were like it's own little town. They all had schools, churches and parks. Suburbs usually created the illusion of a perfect traditional family. They also became the new glamorous countryside. Over the next couple of years suburbs became very popular and helped the government to give GI bills to the veterans of World War II and the Korean War. They helped them with the mortgage and college. With the suburbs growing increasingly popular so did the idea of commuting. Improved roads and railway transport became the new way of travel.
