transportation. We will learn what it took to get some of the newer cities going. Urban growth took off with population growth, increased agricultural productivity, factory production, and low-cost transportation. The population growth was rapid among the urban areas. For the most part it had to do with new technologies. One example was the agricultural technology that would involve fewer farmers on the field. The farmers then would seek work in the city where factories were coming into…
