Urbanization

FACTORS OF THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

NEED FOR PRODUCTS PRODUCED IN MASS QUANTITIES

Causes: the increase in population The changes in people´s living

conditions. People in the cities often could not grow

their own food or make things by hand as they did in the country.

FACTORS OF THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

NEED FOR NEW MACHINERY It was difficult to make products in great

quantity by hand. The machines were invented to save time

and produce a variety of different products in bigger quantities.

FACTOR OF THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

NEED FOR FACTORIES Factories were built for these new

machines. The production was increased.

FACTORS OF THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

NEED FOR MORE WORKERS

With every new factory workers were needed.

More and more people moved to the cities.
