Week 8: Urbanization in America

“Urbanization occurs when the population shifts from rural to urban areas. With the advent of innovative agricultural technologies and industrialization, Americans began to migrate to cities in droves during the 1800s. By 1920, over 50% of Americans lived in cities.” I thought Urbanization was a historical event to write about for the US history. Also, when I've read about it, it caught my attention. When people start to move to urban areas; how they dealt with it, what were the negatives and positives of that movement? I website I found gives information about the advantages and disadvantages of urbanization.
