Discuss the evolution and impact of urban systems through the three main phases of
development—Urbanisation during the industrial revolution, the modern city, and the
postmodern-global city—and analyse how these phases have shaped contemporary
urban environments.
Urban systems have evolved significantly over time, influenced by socio-economic,
technological, and cultural changes. The evolution of urban systems can be traced
through three main phases of development: urbanisation during the Industrial
Revolution, the modern city, and the postmodern-global city. Each of these phases has
distinct characteristics and has profoundly shaped contemporary urban environments.
1. Urbanisation during the Industrial Revolution (Late 18th Century to Early 20th
Century)
Characteristics
The Industrial Revolution marked the beginning of significant urbanisation, driven by the
rapid growth of industries and the migration of people from rural to urban areas in
search of work. This period saw the rise of factory-based economies, where mass
production and technological advancements in transportation (like the steam engine)
revolutionized how people lived and worked.
