Urbanization Of The United States

In the first two decades of the twentieth century, the United States experienced a large increase in political, economic, and social reforms. During this time, there had been an increase in urbanization, and industrial factories within the larger cities throughout the United States, particularly in the northeastern cities. With the addition of the industries and factories too populated also came a growing number of immigrants, and seekers of wealth and employment. As a result, the population increase would result in major issues which would overshadow the economic gains that came from industrialization. In addition, the rise of industrialization also brought about major issues within the populations of the city. After seeing

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. Just as water rushed through rivers, cars drive down streets. The populants of Earth continue to innovate, industrialize,and urbanize, but at what cost?

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.

Amid the last years of the 1800s, modern urban areas, with every one of the issues brought on by quick populace development and absence of foundation to bolster the development, involved an extraordinary place in U.S. history. For every one of the issues, and there were numerous, the urban communities advanced an uncommon security amongst individuals and established the framework for the multiethnic, multicultural society that we love today.

1920s America was characterized by cultural diversification. A decade of remarkable change influenced both social and cultural development, triggering a major clash between rural and urban America. As rural elements were suffocated by rapid urbanization as a result of an influx of immigration, rural America remained traditionalist, outraged by apparent immorality illustrated in urban centers. Rural communities, resentful of urban prosperity and shocked by urban liberalism, frightfully saw the America as they knew on the verge of extinction. The challenge to traditional values thus prompted various efforts to revive values under the threat of urbanization, consequently deepening the gap between the two Americas even more.

However, as America started maturing. Towns grew into cities, railroads were built, urbanization increased. Large families were an inconvenience was jobs were scarce, and abortion became more and more popular. Meanwhile in Great Britain 1803, the Ellenborough and Lansdowne Acts were passed.

Urbanization happens and fast it surprised many people. The definition of urbanization is the process by which towns and cities are created and become bigger as more people come in. The year 1800 can help in the understanding of urbanization.

Every settled nation will at some point go through urbanization – the mass movement to urban areas. In the United States, one of the largest examples of urbanization was in the time period 1865 to 1910. By 1900, almost forty percent of all Americans lived in urban towns and cities. This rapid movement brought about substantial change in all aspects of the country. Some aspects were altered more than others, for example society as a whole, the economy, and city government. Urbanization has had a substantial impact on city government, the economy, and society in the time period 1865 to 1910 through various contributing factors in each area. However, this impact was not always beneficial, and many times contributed to the detriment of the

Much has been said about the development patterns that are found throughout towns and cities in North America. In the New York Times, a post authored by Vishaan Chakrabarti discuses the trends facing American cities in the article “America’s Urban Future (Chakrabarti).” This article talks about the ways in which American cities are seeing resurgence in their urban areas, and new population segments are moving into once blighted areas. In order to convey the changes occurring throughout our communities, Chakrabarti relies on ethos and logos to provide a foundation for the information, and effectively uses pathos to convince the audience that they should care about the subject in question.

In the late 19th century, American cities exploded in population. This explosion was fueled by population growth, technology in transportation, and industrialization. In 1870, there were only two American cities with a population of more than 500,000, but by 1900, there were six. Three of these – New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia – had over one million residents. Roughly 40 percent of Americans lived in cities, and the number was increasing (Urbanization, 2015).

Both industrialized countries and the U.S. are similiar in the fact they had similiar "growing pains" becoming urbanized. Similarities such as decline in manufacturing, changes in industry to high tech, growth in the service industry, growth of immigrant workers, cutbacks in social welfare, division of highly paid professionals and low paid workers and the emergence of multicentered metropolitan regions to name a few.

When travelers arrived in the metropolitan areas, they found that it was over crowded. Also, due to the large population, jobs went rapidly. This was just another pull back to the rustic community. The jobs travelers had left were becoming needed causing the pay to escalate. In addition to this, artists moving out of the towns could take these offers of employment that had been left behind.

In the United States nowadays, many people live in big cities where the population is twenty-five to thirty thousand people. These cities may have every restaurant you can think of, but they aren’t always the safest place to be. This is why much of the populace enjoy living in a small town.

Greenwood shows us cities in the United State are Minnesota, Tennessee, Texas, Detroit, Houston, New York and Los Angeles. These cities are the corners of the United State that part of basis of our economy and also the oil industry. He thinks listing these cities in the song will make people who listen to the song can remember and know about these main cities in America. He also mentions the amazing and special views from each different cities. “From the lake of Minnesota to the hill of Tennessee” Listing the places help the listener has an overview about the city. For example, Minnesota has so many amazing lake such as Mille Lacs Lake, Leech lake, lake Vermillion,... and so on. These are the most beautiful lakes in America that Greenwood just wants to bring the lake to his song for people to admire the beautiful of nature in America. On the other hand, lake is not the only beautiful place in America; there’s also hill of Tennessee and plains of Texas. The hill and plains in Texas are huge, wild and majestic. The nature is not just the quiet and beautiful lakes, there’s also wild hills, giant plains and “shining sea” that highlight the beautifulness of America. Beside the nature, people is the one that make America where it at now. New York and Los Angeles are the most bustling and modern cities in the United State.

The process of people moving into cities, which is called urbanisation, was happening around the world in past decades. It causes cities to have more labourers and resources than before. This makes a big contribution to the social development of cities. Thanks to these social developments, public services are becoming better in these areas. Citizens can enjoy a better life by access these public services such as better medical care, more education resources and well-built transport. It means an equitable society can be created. An equitable society means citizens can have more opportunities to access social resources and to live a better life. This essay will argue that
