Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Poor workers were often housed in cramped, grossly inadequate quarters. Working conditions were difficult and exposed employees to many risks and dangers, including cramped work areas with poor ventilation, trauma from machinery, toxic exposures to heavy metals, dust, and solvents.
Detailed explanation-3: -Disadvantages of Industrialization The sharp increase in the number of factories led to an increase in urban pollution. Pollution wasn’t contained only in the factories; as people flocked to the cities, the living conditions became deplorable as the urban resources were overwhelmed.
Detailed explanation-4: -In fact, the revolution changed almost every aspect of their lives. Many new workers had to migrate to cities for work. Here they faced difficulties with pollution, health, disease, poverty, and crime. These social issues were all results of the Industrial Revolution and the changes to the cities.
