Urbanization Notes

Dumbbell Tenements

How the Other Half Lives

Social Gospel

William Marcy Tweed

• Urbanization was the result of industrialization and immigration.  More jobs in the cities meant immigrants came there to fill them.

• The nature of the growth of cities was directly related to advances in transportation and building technology.

• The governments of cities were so corrupt they inspired the first political reform movements.
