FQ: What were the positive and negative effects of the Industrial Revolution on Britain?

Industrialization Changes Ways of Life • Growth of factory system-manufacturing goods in central location brought waves of job seekers to cities and towns. Between 1800 and 1850 the urban areas of Europe doubled in population.

Growth of Industrial Cities • Urbanization- city building and movement of people to cities • Factories developed in clusters because entrepreneurs built them near sources of energy.

Living Conditions • No plans, no sanitary codes, and no building codes controlled the growth of England’s cities • They lacked adequate housing, education, and police protection for the people who poured in from the countryside seeking jobs • Unpaved streets had no drain and collected heaps of garbage • Workers lived in dark, dirty shelters, whole families crowding into one bedroom • Sickness was wide spread- Cholera epidemics regularly swept through the slums of Great Britain’s industrial cities

As a result, the average worker spent 14 hours a day at the job, 6 days a week • Factories were seldom well-lit or clean • Machines injured workers in countless ways • There was no government program to provide aid in case of injury • The most dangerous conditions of all were found in the coal mines
