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 can be traced through three key phases of
development: Urbanization during the Industrial Revolution, the emergence
of the modern city, and the development of the postmodern-global city.
Each of these phases has played a significant role in shaping
contemporary urban environments, influencing the social, economic, and
spatial organization of cities around the world.
1. Urbanization during the Industrial Revolution
Phase Overview: The Industrial Revolution, beginning in the late 18th
century and continuing through the 19th century, marked a pivotal moment
in urbanization. It was characterized by the mass movement of people from
rural areas to cities, driven by the rise of industrial economies. Factories
became the centers of production, and cities grew rapidly as they absorbed
large numbers of workers.
Key Characteristics:
• Rapid Urban Growth: The population of cities grew exponentially as
people migrated to urban areas in search of work in factories. Cities
like Manchester, Liverpool, and Birmingham in England saw
significant increases in their populations.
