Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Industrialization, along with great strides in transportation, drove the growth of U.S. cities and a rapidly expanding market economy. It also shaped the development of a large working class in U.S. society, leading eventually to labor struggles and strikes led by working men and women.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Having people concentrated into small areas accelerated economic activity, thereby producing more industrial growth. Industrialization and urbanization thus reinforced one another, augmenting the speed with which such growth would have otherwise occurred.

Detailed explanation-4: -Industrialization has historically led to urbanization or expansion of cities by creating economic growth and job opportunities that draw people to cities. Establishment of factories within a region creates a high demand for factory labor leading to urbanization.
