During the onset of industrialization, why did urban areas grow rapidly?
Jobs created by new factories attracted people away from rural areas seeking employment opportunities.
Urban areas were seen as culturally superior and thus drew large numbers of migrants seeking sophistication and refinement.
Governments actively relocated populations into cities with housing initiatives and incentives.
Rural areas had become overpopulated leading to mass migration towards urban spaces for better living conditions.
