Urbanization is the increase of population living in cities. “Cities developed in areas where resources such as coal, iron, water and rail roads were available for manufacturing. The more factories that developed in favourable locations, the larger cities would grow.” (Armstrong, Monty, David Daniel, Abby Kanarek, and Alexandra Freer. Cracking the AP World History Exam. N.P.: N.P., n.d. Print.) The reason for the increase of urbanization during the Industrial Revolution was because of agricultural revolution which resulted in a surplus of food, with the surplus of food increase the populations. The increase of population resulted in an increase in factory jobs. The switch from the domestic system to factory system really sparked the revolution. “In 1793, when Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin, thereby allowing massive amount of cotton to be quickly processed in the Americas and exported to Europe, the textile industry was taken out of the homes and into the mills entirely. Which made the factory system profit, but it came with a social cost.” (Armstrong, Monty, David
