The Industrial Revolution and Urbanization
The Industrial Revolution catalyzed a profound transformation in human society, reshaping economies, landscapes, and daily life. Emerging in the late 18th century, this era witnessed a surge in technological innovation, leading to the mechanization of production processes. As factories burgeoned, urban centers swelled with migrants seeking employment opportunities, fueling a rapid influx into cities. Urbanization became a defining hallmark of this period, as rural populations flocked to urban areas in search of work and better prospects. This symbiotic relationship between industrialization and urbanization laid the groundwork for the modern urban landscape, shaping the trajectory of human civilization.
