The proletariat often rioted for bread during the French Revolution. Under the Ancient Regime, there was terrible inflation and horrible harvests, and they starved. An example of an urban riot in Paris was the march to Versailles, when thousands of women marched to Versailles to force the king, Louis XVI, to return to Paris. From Versailles, the women got cartloads of flour to feed their families as well.

The Industrial Revolution and the Transportation Revolution significantly aided the growth of American cities during the mid-1800s. The Industrial Revolution led to the establishment of factories, which created jobs and attracted rural populations to urban areas.

The large number of executions among the urban poor and middle class during the French Revolution suggests a deep-seated fear and distrust within the revolutionary government towards these groups. It reflects the tensions and divisions in society, as the revolution initially aimed to empower these classes but ultimately led to paranoia about counter-revolutionary sentiments. This indicates that despite initial support for revolutionary ideals, the radical phase of the Revolution alienated many, ultimately undermining the revolution's broader goals of liberty and equality.

Urban Workers are part of the third estate that include Bourgeoisie and peasants. They make up about 97%-98% of the french population. Urban workers usually work in the kitchen and barely have jobs.
