1. What is Urbanization?
Urbanization is the growth of cities
2. For what reasons did a number of Americans move from the country to the cities?
A number of Americans moved to cities because they were the cheapest, most convenient places to live. The cities also offered steady, reliable jobs in the mills and factories.
3. What were the housing problems that many poor city dwellers faced?
Many poor city-dwellers had to choose from housing in the outskirts of the city which created transportation problems, or rent out very crowded rooms in boarding houses. The development of tenements made things better, housing many families in one block, but after a while they went to waste and became even worse living environments.
