Detailed explanation-1: -The industrial revolution had a massive impact on the growth of towns. In 1700 Manchester was a small village with less than 10, 000 inhabitants. By 1801 Greater Manchester had become a city of 328, 609 people. Liverpool, Leeds and Huddersfield were similar in size.
Detailed explanation-2: -The cities that grew the most during industrialization were New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia. New York grew to 3.5 million. Chicago grew to 1.7 million. And Philadelphia grew to 1.3 million.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Industrialization led to the creation of the factory, and the factory system contributed to the growth of urban areas as large numbers of workers migrated into the cities in search of work in the factories. In England and Wales, the proportion of the population living in cities jumped from 17% in 1801 to 72% in 1891.
