MAKE A PREDICTION:
Before the Industrial Revolution, in the year 1700, only 13.3% of the English
population lived in cities. By the year 1890, 61.9% lived in cities. Why did this
urbanization happen and how did it contribute to the Industrial Revolution?
The urbanization happened because people wanted to move into a safer place
called the city, since the country isnt such a great place to live back in the days.
Also people may have moved into the city for a better living, a good education for
their families and higher paying jobs.
