The Industrial Revolution was the beginning of the vast empire of cities we see today around the world. The Industrial Revolution took place shortly after the a revolution in the area of agriculture. It was triggered as inventions made business more efficient and allowed for people to produce goods at a higher rate. This lead to a devastating increase in population in cities, this is known as urbanization. Because of the rapid urbanization and the quick spread of factories cities could not balance the demands and the conditions of the cities were forced to crumble. Although this revolution is usually tied with decrepit living conditions and child labor; there were still many positives to this great change. For the first time in years the value of life actually increased. In addition to this many new inventions and emerging corporations allowed for people to take a step forward in their lives. Without the Industrial Revolution the world around us would not be possible.
