Industrial Cities

Industrial cities are urban areas that developed primarily around large-scale industries and manufacturing. These cities emerged during the Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries when advancements in technology led to increased production capabilities. Typically, they feature factories, warehouses, and transportation networks, such as railways and ports, facilitating the movement of goods and workers. Industrial cities often attract a diverse workforce seeking jobs, which can lead to urban growth and economic development but may also present challenges like pollution, overcrowding, and social issues. Examples include Detroit in the United States and Manchester in the United Kingdom.
