...Growth in the population of country's population that lives ni urban areas opposed to rural areas
Cities started as centres fro organising agriculture, trading surplus produce and administration. THey attracted people as labour became more specialised and jobs became more precisely differentiated. The division of labour is possible as not everyone has to concentreat as food and shelter. There is a higher natural population growth in cities as migrans are often younger, unattached people who then have families in the city
Agricultural Revolution -> loss of work on land and surplus food was produced that could be transported to feed growing town populations
Invention of Industrual Process -> development of the factory system , production was concentrated close to power sources, drawing labour in
New Forms of Power -> coal replaced water, concentrating industry near mines
Improved Transport Systems -> canals followed by railways and then motorised road travel
