American Industrialization Urban Systems Analytical Essay by Nicky

This paper explains that, as a result of industrialization, urban centers, especially the US northern cities that were located near waterways and shipping centers, grew very rapidly in terms of their physical, cultural and social environments. Next, the author relates the many conflicts over resources that occurred as the much required infrastructure had to be created to meet the needs of the workers streaming into the cities. The paper concludes that eventually city planning through bureaucratic standards and systems was enforced to facilitate the delivery of supplies to industry and to sustain the lives of its worker in a more healthy and productive environment.
