Answers
Industrialization changed the form of urbanization in the
modern period.
1. The textile mills in the industrial cities of Britain like Leeds and
Manchester attracted migrants. By 1851, three quarter of
the adult population of Manchester comprised of migrants from rural areas.
2. A huge number of skilled and unskilled workers came and settled in
London to work in the industries like footwear, metal and engineering, wood and furniture,
priming and stationery.
3. In 1854, the first cotton mill was set up in Bombay. In
1921 there were 85 cotton mills where 1,46,000 workers were employed. Between
1851 and 1931 only one fourth of the people living in the city were born in
Bombay, rest of them came from outside. Many of them were from Ratnagiri who
had come in search of work in the Bombay mills.
