During the last part of the 19th-century, America was the place to be. The population count almost doubled before the beginning of the new century. People poured into the country's cities lured here by glitter, entertainment, excitement, friends, relatives, and most importantly by greater opportunities that America had to offer, such as: jobs with higher wages. .
Industrialization and urbanization reshaped American society. The cities were becoming more and more populated, largely from the immigrants that were coming into the country. People from small towns and farms also helped swell the population in the cities. Cities were becoming so large and cramped people began to create new cities, which contributes to urbanization.
City life was very different than the more traditional life Americans were used to. Cities provided a place where people could make more money from better opportunities. Cities were also notorious for their quality of entertainment and shopping. In the city people didn't have to order from magazines, or drive great distances to shop. Everything anyone could ask for was right there. Great distances of travel were not needed. .
Everything about the city wasn't always good. Along with all the people came problems. There were overly populated living environments. Dumbbell tenements packed 30 four room apartments on a lot only 25 by 100 feet. Between four and sixteen families lived on a floor. There were two toilets on each floor for the occupants to share. The design of these buildings was poor. They were firetraps not only because of poor design but also by over population.
The stench in the cities was another problem. There was tons of horse manure around in every city. The privies also were horrendous, especially during the summer. Cities dumped their waste into the nearest body of water, and got their drinking water from the same site. Very few city dwellers drank filtered water.
