The needs of new immigrants and their effects, and the conveniences offered by cities caused urbanization to occur the last half of the 19th century in New York. New York is an Urban Utopia: the needs of new immigrants to the United States, especially around 1900 (When the United States was undergoing urbanization [the switch of most jobs being in URBAN cities, not RURAL countryside] as well as a major influx of immigrants) were perfectly met in New York. It provided all of the unskilled factory jobs, low-income housing, transportation, and education that all immigrants wanted to make their new lives better than their old ones. Inventoins such as the car, telephone, and electric light just added to the modern, appealing view urban places held. New York was also the first urban city that immigrants that immigrated into Ellis Island (Where 90% of all immigrants immigrating in from the East Coast immigrated)encpuntered. If they had no money left from their journey to the US, many immigrants found themsleves permenantly stuck in NYC because they had no way to get anywhere else. Contributing to this, New York was also a place an immigrant could wait for the rest of his family to arrive from the Old Country without having his wife and eight children who cannot speak English, let's say, travelling all the way to Wisconsin to meet him with their meager life savings sewn into their clothing. Overall: New York provided -A place to work a job to save up money to move somewhere else in the US. -An urban city than had many things immigrants needed to have a new life in America, such as A.)unskilled factory jobs B.)transportation C.) education D.)cheap housing E.)inventions that made life eaiser and let a poor immigrant experience the "wealth" of America. -A place to wait for the rest of your family.
