Urbanization

== Urbanization was a direct result of the Industrial Revolutions. The Industrial Revolutions allowed for other professions besides agricultural ones. Many people became factory workers, and were forced to move into the city to live near where they worked. This movement into the cities grew into a mass rural-to-urban migration. After the first Industrial Revolution, cities were a dirty, unsanitary place to live with poor people crowded on every corner. After reforms and advancements were made in society these cities became a more pleasurable place to live.
