1. The industrial revolution spurred growth and attracted a lot of people from villages to cities.
2. Cities expanded rapidly and new cities were being built near factories to house industrial workers who had to live somewhere.
3. This kind of urbanization was not a good thing.
4. City people often lived in cramped, overcrowded housing with poor sanitation and disease and crime multiplied.
5. Workers face harsh conditions both at home and workplace.
6. People laboured for long hours with low wages in dangerous conditions with no job security. That is why the govt enacts laws to improve working conditions.
