For a majority of Earth’s history, its populous has been free to roam and live off of the land, maintaining a balance between the habitat and its inhabitants. However, as technology develops the earth is placed at an even bigger disequilibrium. In the places where massive sequoias reigned, high-rise apartments now stand.

Sydney, centrally located on the eastern coast, is Australia’s largest and most influential city. Its multicultural nature, advanced infrastructure, state of the art technologies, scale of foreign investment and architectural ingenuity not only make for a highly desired international tourist destination but are all compelling evidence to suggest that Sydney is in fact an established city of the developed world. As in any developed city, there are a myriad of urban dynamics of change at work that have, and will continue to evolve the morphology of the Australian metropolis.

All in all the industrial revolution had a positive effect on society, accomplishing things many do not realize and creating a turn of events that would put the USA as the world power. New farming methods meant better diets, which lead to lower death rates. Efficient and useful inventions, as well as machinery, made it easier for people to work, and made more job opportunities, as well as enjoyment in the workplace. More and easier ways of travel became commonplace, such as railroads. In addition, as cities began to grow, streetlights provided safety at night, and our economy grew greatly.

Urbanization is currently having a huge effect on civilization causing appalling living conditions, widespread disease, and a influx in crime; which is shortening peoples lives. This terrible event is being caused by the appearance of Industrialization. With the increase of machine-based job availability in factories that are alongside each other thousands of people are flooding to nearby cities that are not prepared for them. With many unprepared cities doubling or even tripling in population and nothing to keep them in order the cities are covered in dirty, leftover trash and the housing often includes full families in small, damp, bare rooms. These unfitting environments are the reason people are often coming down with illnesses that are easily spread to become epidemics that can effect everyone.

Ian Bremmer states in the article These Are the 5 Reasons Why the U.S. Remains the World's Only Superpower addressing the american public “The U.S. dominates across land, sea, air and space. America’s Middle East misadventures gave the U.S. military a black eye” (Bremmer). By stating that the U.S dominates all areas of the world with different branches of military covering each terrain. When the quote states that the middle east gave the U.S. a “black eye” it means that we were hit with their forces but not badly injured. The military is America's strongest force because we have countless numbers of people willingly protecting our country. However, The military is also
The city life often referred to as an experience like no other. The big change an individual makes when moving from a rural area to the city affects all aspect of a person life. This movement is called urbanization; “is a population shift from rural to urban areas, "the gradual increase in the proportion of people living in urban areas", and the ways in which each society adapts to the change.

From 1890 to 1920, cities in the United States experienced a rapid growth that was unprecedented in years previous. This growth was caused by a number of factors and resulted in both positive and negative consequences. Such factors included, industrialization, technological advances, migration and immigration. Although American cities greatly improved by the expeditious urbanization, these factors also developed numerous challenges including pollution, sanitation problems, a need for environmental reform, political corruption, overcrowding, high crime rates and segregation.
