The UK and many other MEDCs urbanised during the 18th and 19th centuries. People migrated from rural areas (due to the mechanisation in farming) to urban areas where there was employment in the new factories.
When did Urbanisation occur in the UK?
Urbanization proceeded across the period 1600–1800, but accelerated in the first half of the nineteenth century (figure 1a). By 1851 over half the population lived in settlements of 2,500 or more, peaking at around 80 per cent by the 1890s.
Why did urbanization happen in England?
Industrialization led to the creation of the factory, and the factory system contributed to the growth of urban areas as large numbers of workers migrated into the cities in search of work in the factories. In England and Wales, the proportion of the population living in cities jumped from 17% in 1801 to 72% in 1891.
