Artifact 10
Urbanization has been a major issue for the environment and government. It started at the industrial century. The industrial century is 19th century and the centuries that starts to imply technology into common civilian live. There has been arguments about whether if this century benefits us or causes more issues than the benefits. The technology of industrialization made life easier for the middle and high classes of people, it is more faster and precise than human work. The factories caused the people to leave their homes and farms, instead they were force to move to a city where it is closer to the factory and gathered together. The gathering brought some issues, like the Luddities, urbanization, and some major health issues.
The major cause that causes urbanization is factory. Factory has causes people to move into the city, and so the amount of urbanization increases. 1801 only 20% of the people lives in the city, but at 1851 the number risen over 50%. The factory not only caused urbanization issue, it also caused other health issue, and child labor. In 19th century there are child at the age from 9-19 working in factories. The children were trained to work at the factory in a polluted area, and feared to speak to anyone. Before the industrial evolution period children work in the farm help their father farming.
