Urbanization

We have been reviewing the pattern of Urbanization in the United States for the past few weeks. As we approach its end I would like for you to review our discussion of how life would be different in an urbanized area. Also, what do you think would be the result of a small town like Ironton suddenly becoming a major metropolitan center?
Most of this urbanization, of course, is due to the industrial revolution. As factories and industry could employ more people, urban centers could develop. This idea is important in understanding why cities like New York City can accommodate populations of 10 million plus.
