Detailed explanation-1: -Industrialization and emergence of the factory system triggered rural-to-urban migration and thus led to a rapid growth of cities, where during the Industrial Revolution workers faced the challenge of dire conditions and developed new ways of living.
Detailed explanation-2: -Urban to urban migration is when a person moves from an urban locality to another urban locale. This kind of migration is mostly related to securing better employment opportunities, better facilities or a better standard of living.
Detailed explanation-3: -A steady stream of people from rural America also migrated to the cities during this period. Between 1880 and 1890, almost 40 percent of the townships in the United States lost population because of migration. Industrial expansion and population growth radically changed the face of the nation’s cities.
Detailed explanation-4: -Many people left the countryside in order to seek out new job opportunities in nearby towns and cities. Others arrived from further afield: from rural areas in Ireland, Scotland and Wales, for example, and from across large areas of Europe.
