Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -More and more people moved away from rural areas to the cities in search of work, and the lack of legal protections meant many people lived in poverty and filth. But the Industrial Revolution also brought people more opportunity to buy consumer goods or take part in leisure activities.
Detailed explanation-3: -In industrialisation, the cities establish multiple factories creating job opportunities that attract the rural population. The factories demand high labour and capital for the establishment and proper functioning. Industrialisation offers excellent economic opportunities for small and large-scale industries.
