years (1850-1900).
New York grew from 64,000 to 3.4 million in one
hundred years (1800-1900).
Urban Environment
London, New York and Chicago were fast growing
cities, where people arrived so quickly, that

couldn't keep up.
Neighborhoods became over crowded and cities
were divided into commercial, industrial and
residential zones all occupied by different social
classes.
Thanks to urban environments, air pollution
dramatically increased.
