Detailed explanation-1: -The Industrial Revolution brought rapid urbanization or the movement of people to cities. Changes in farming, soaring population growth, and an ever-increasing demand for workers led masses of people to migrate from farms to cities. Almost overnight, small towns around coal or iron mines mushroomed into cities.
Detailed explanation-2: -Larger populations in small areas meant that the new factories could draw on a big pool of workers and that the larger labour force could be ever more specialized. By the 19th century there were thousands of industrial workers in Europe, many of them living in the most miserable conditions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Modernization, Industrialization and Urbanization are three important processes of social change by which the process of development can be explained. In fact, industrialization and urbanization can be viewed as sub-processes of the process of Modernization resulting primarily from technological advancement.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
