How did Industrial Revolution impact cities?

Answer 1

Rapid Urbanization greatly affected the lives of the citizens during the Industrial Revolution (negatively). The results of rapid urbanization caused poor living conditions, such as, poorly made homes, no sewage system, small living space (due to families forced to live together), and pollution, which resulted in unsanitary health. These places are now known as 'slums'.

Answer 3

The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain and spread to Belgium, France, Germany, the United States and Japan. It was a fundamental change in the way goods were produced, and altered the way people lived. The Industrial Revolution is a major turning point in world history.

Answer 4

In general, the industrial revolution put a heavy demand on labour to work regular hours in factories. Since factories required regular access to both supply (of which specialised industrial goods, like steel, tended to concentrate in clusters around cities), transportation for raw material and shipping out goods, and a large market for selling, managers and industrialists actively sought out cheap sources of labour, especially from the countryside. Agricultural life was irregular and largely unprofitable, except for large-landowners, so workers from farms were attracted by the prospect of working for an expected return. Overall, this tendency, especially for young males, caused a movement of people from towns to cities and, therefore, rapidly increased urbanisation.
