Urbanization

1. What is Urbanization?
- growth of cities, mostly in the regions of northeast and midwest

2. For what reasons did a number of Americans move from the country to the cities?
-In the countries there was alot of new inventions which allowed less people to work. So, alot of americans moved from the country to the cities becuase the cities had alot of jobs open and unskilled workers could also work.

3. What were the housing problems that many poor city dwellers faced?
- Most families that immigrated would have to share a house with sometimes 3 families to a tenement and it was very unsanitary and packed. If they wanted to buy a house on the outskirts of town they would have transportation problems so alot of them bought a tenement which had problems.
