The Industrial City
Summary
|
The creation of industry in the United States and throughout the world led to the creation of towns and eventually cities. These urban centers drew people hoping for a better life, and those numbers crowded into the cities until there was no room left. Urban overcrowding led to disease and other problems, and those who could afford to leave the cities did so. Crime in the urban centers increased as people found themselves without a means of supporting themselves and their families.
