So large number of people move to the urban cities in search of job.Thus, this period witnessed mass movement from the countryside to the city that lead to urbanisation. Thus population was rapidly increasing in the cities . Cities has become a central economy producer. People who work in large estate follow the principle of Fordism i,e Assembly line working technique for mass production. Originally it is the idea of famous American industrialist Forde which he used for mass production during time of greate depression inoder to manufacture T- ford motorvehicles. The idea change the systematic work of big industries. In modern industries the idea was profoundly use. There was descipline in works people have their own responsiblity. Even though it was a productive system, nervous breakdown was common for the workers. The characteristics shown by the Chaplin is the fact about the assembly line production. The hurried pace of production with specific time,repeatition of same work where a little negligence led to devastation they all do bring lasting damage to the
The Industrial Revolution was a significant factor in the growth of urbanization. The development of new technologies and the expansion of manufacturing led to increased demand for labor, which in turn led to large numbers of people moving from rural areas to cities in search of work. Cities offered new employment opportunities, access to better healthcare, and improved living conditions. The rise of factories and industrialization also led to the creation
During this period of industrialization, Canada began to shift from an agrarian country, to an urban one. The job opportunities, facilitated by the rapid industrialization, began to pull more people into cities. Accordingly, industrialization during this period also fueled rapid urban expansion. As much of this industrial grow was concentrated in the East, with the population of major centres like Toronto and Montreal growing at exponential rates during this period. These enhanced urban markets induced further economic development, as cities soon became home to large department stores, electricity, and leisure and recreation facilities.
Q6. With the Industrial Revolution many people came into the cities looking for work and an improvement to their lives. With new people moving into the cities everyday, the urban cities grew rapidly in size. Many of the urban cities doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled in size. The long term affect created by the city growth was that the suburbs grew as people fled to the cities.
Prior to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, most of the nation was made up of farmers. After the time of the industrial revolution, things started to change. For example, more people moved to cities and urban areas. Instead of most of the nation being comprised of farmers, there were more job
First, the industrial rise that happened because of urbanization made peoples lives easier and more confortable due to the new inventions.
By 1900, that number grew to 1 in 3. By 1920, more people lived in the city than in the country. The impetus for this demographic shift is multifaceted, but the main driver was technological innovation which displaced small farmers and forced them to search for work in the city. One of the negative consequences of urbanization was increased pollution. Along with this came decreased sanitation.
The Industrial Revolution caused wealth, material production, population distribution, and labor patterns to shift. As more jobs were being created, people from the countryside started coming into cities for more sustainable jobs, increasing population in those areas and creating an
The Industrial Revolution was on the verge of beginning at this time and it played a major role in this change. There was another revolution happening in this era, the Agricultural Revolution. More techniques and new and upgraded items began to flood the markets. All these impacts converged to predominantly lower the mortality rate and there was such a big gap between the deaths and births that the population grew immensely. Better health care came to fruition and there were more chances to be cured of diseases which was the leading cause of death at that time.
Another big contribution to having abundant amount of job opportunities was urbanization. Small farms became corporations and people had no choice other than to move to the cities in search for employment. “Mary Paul worked in a textile factory in Lowell, Massachusetts. In an 1846 letter to her father …. The 16 year old expressed her satisfaction with her situation at Lowell”
These people were able to get work in the cities and provide for their families. In the text it states “As industrialization progressed, more and more rural folk flocked to the cities in search of better pay in the factories”. Workers also had to learn more specialized tasks, then compared to working on a farm for instance. It also states in the text “As the factories grew and workers became more specialized, additional teachers and trainers were needed to pass on specialized
In a time where America’s economy was at its low, much work was necessary to rebuild the economy. Those times are revolutionary in history because they are crucial to development, during WWI a lot of progress was achieved, most of it at expenses of peoples lives and believes. However, that is not the case of Henry Ford Model T car and overall work practices. It is true that people made great fortune at expense of others misfortune, but I don’t believe that is enough reason for us to generalize.
Factory workers started to produce more consumer goods and transport them because they became in high demand. Another way the new transportation effected the economy is it made it easier for people to travel from one place to another. This is how people started moving towards the East coast to the West coast. Many of these people were immigrants from Germany and Ireland which started to lead to tension and violence between one another. (pg. 264)
The Chinese development of technological advances, allowed the era of the Tang, and the Song dynasty to bring about a social, political, and urban change. The Chinese found new techniques in Agriculture and farming rice. This allowed for more growth and spreading of population in the regions. As the population grew, people were interest in new jobs and careers in the markets. So, they sought out jobs such as shop sellers, blacksmiths, metallurgy, fishing, and government work.
All throughout history there have been divisions between different races and classes. However, during the Gilded and Progressive eras, this rift heightened. The Gilded Age was a time of industrial growth which brought new technologies, businesses, and more.
Kingsley Davis, who is said to have pioneered the study of historical urban demography wrote his “The Urbanization of the Human population” in 1965. In his essay, he states that the history of the world is in fact the history of urbanization and then begins with description of how tiny European settlements grew slowly through the Middle Ages and the early modern period. According to him, urbanization occurred mainly because of rural-urban migration and not the other factors that people believe. He discusses how the production levels of this time period, due to the feudal system, used to favor an agrarian culture and then how the process of urbanization intensified during the 1900s, especially in Great Britain. He then clarifies the difference between urbanization, which he describes as the process of a society becoming more urban-focused, and the growth of cities i.e. the expansion of their boundaries.
