USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Industrial Revolution caused towns to turn into cities, and existing cities to swell, both in terms of population-with new arrivals from Europe and rural areas of the United States-as well as their geographic footprint, now that they were home to factories and other buildings required in manufacturing.

Detailed explanation-2: -With an increase of the population and underemployment or no employment it forced many to look for work in the towns. Rural life changed during the industrial revolution with the construction of factories all around the country, and advances in machinery people were moving away from villages to seek employment.

Detailed explanation-3: -Industrial expansion and population growth radically changed the face of the nation’s cities. Noise, traffic jams, slums, air pollution, and sanitation and health problems became commonplace. Mass transit, in the form of trolleys, cable cars, and subways, was built, and skyscrapers began to dominate city skylines.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cities grew because of the influx of people desiring to take advantage of the factory jobs available in urban areas. Urbanization extended industrialization as factories were built to take advantage of urban workforces and markets.
