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.
The evolution of urban systems has undergone significant transformations through three main
phases: Urbanisation during the Industrial Revolution, the development of the modern city, and
the emergence of the postmodern-global city. Each phase has played a crucial role in shaping
contemporary urban environments, influencing everything from economic structures to social
dynamics and spatial organization.
1. Urbanisation During the Industrial Revolution
Key Characteristics:
• Economic Shift: The Industrial Revolution, beginning in the late 18th century, marked a
profound shift from agrarian economies to industrialized urban centers. The advent of
mechanized production led to the rapid growth of factories and industries, necessitating a
concentrated labor force.
• Demographic Changes: Massive rural-to-urban migration occurred as people moved to
cities in search of employment. This influx led to the rapid expansion of urban
populations, with cities like London, Manchester, and New York experiencing
exponential growth.
