Detailed explanation-1: -The living conditions in the cities and towns were miserable and characterized by: overcrowding, poor sanitation, spread of diseases, and pollution. As well, workers were paid low wages that barely allowed them to afford the cost of living associated with their rent and food.
Detailed explanation-2: -There was no electricity. People used a stove for cooking, and had to chop and burn wood to keep the stove working. There were also no bathrooms or running water! The roads were smaller and rough as tarmac had not yet been developed.
Detailed explanation-3: -Massive amounts of people came to the cities from the villages for getting employed. City grew so fast, people needed places to live and there was no time for any urban planning so the government had to add so many buildings in really short time. Everything became crowded and looked ugly.
