Detailed explanation-1: -The Industrial Revolution created a new middle class along with the working class. Those in the middle class owned and operated the new factories, mines, and railroads, among other industries. Their lifestyle was much more comfortable than that of the industrial working class.
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: -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: -The growth was so fast that even the government couldn’t catch it up. Due to this uncontrolled population increase, the government had to add so many unplanned buildings. This was a big circumstance for them. They had to build factories to get people employed and tenements to give people a place to live.
