Urban+Renewal+(2-2)

Urban renewal was caused by the Industrial Revolution. This created new jobs in cities. This drew in massive crowds of workers. Eventually, the fumes given off by the factories, air pollution, and water pollution destroyed the environment, and slums were created.

In the early 1900s New York City was growing rapidly. This rapid growth of this city promoted factory jobs. This created more products that reduced the price of things. This mass production provided many jobs for former farmers. This urbanization led to mass building of homes. The population grew rapidly when it urbanized.

This urbanization has continued up to the present day. However there were regulations in forced by the Government. The urbanization has slowed down by a lot since the industrial revolution days but its still happening in larger cities.
