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: -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-3: -With industrialization, improvements in medical knowledge and public health, together with a more regular food supply, bring about a drastic reduction in the death rate but no corresponding decline in the birth rate. The result is a population explosion, as experienced in 19th-century Europe.
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.
