Steamboat (1807) – Increased speed of water transportation

Locomotive (1825) Fast land transportation of people and goods

Led to new innovation in pesticides, breeding, food preservation, and farming techniques, allowed fewer farms to produce more food

Growth of Factories By 1800, steam engines were

replacing water wheels as sources of power for factories, forcing owners to relocate near raw materials

Cities grew around the factories built near central England’s coal and iron minesManchester, Liverpool

Urbanization With the growth of factories in

cities and the decline of agriculture people began searching for work within cities

Cities such as London and Manchester soon became over populated with working class citizens

Urban populations increased by over 400%
