Answer 1

The late 1800s saw an explosion in population growth and industrialization in American cities. A surge in immigration from Europe and improvements in urban planning allowed rapidly growing cities to accomodate the increasing population.

New industrial jobs emerged in factories and were filled by the many people flocking to cities for better economic opportunities. The increasing industrial output and grwoing economy provided more products at affordable prices, allowing more people to join the middle class.

Cities were planned to encourage flow of people and goods. Wide streets were common. And the rapidly expanding rail networks allowed faster transportation within and between cities. The introduction of the bessemer process allowed cheaper and easier manufacture of steel, which allowed the construction of ever higher buildings to accomodate even more people.

Cities were obviously segregated into communities based on social class. Wealthy families often lived in single family mansions or brownstones. Middle class workers and artisans could afford their own flats or lived in the apartments above their shops. The poor were often crammed into tenement slums, which were horrendously crowded.

Hope all this helps,
