Detailed explanation-1: -Throughout history, people have been drawn to cities as centers of trade, culture, education, and economic opportunity, but the resulting urban population growth has not always been steady. Indeed, urbanization is a relatively recent phenomenon; until recent years, the vast majority of people lived in rural areas.
Detailed explanation-2: -changes in farming, population growth, and the demand for workers led people to move from farms to cities. Farming machines kept getting more and more advanced causing many farm workers to lose their job, so they move to the city.
Detailed explanation-3: -“Cities grew because industrial factories required large workforces and workers and their families needed places to live near their jobs. Factories and cities attracted millions of immigrants looking for work and a better life in the United States.”
