Сложность 1/5 · 100 монет + небольшой бонус за первое выполнение сегодня
Industry powered urbanization as workers moved to cities.
The Industrial Revolution did not spread evenly. The regions that industrialised first (Western Europe, then North America) pulled far ahead, while others supplied raw materials. Much of today's global wealth gap traces back to who industrialised and when.
An 1800s industrial city grew where coal and iron lay near a river port — a break-of-bulk point where goods shifted from ship to rail. Factories drew workers from the countryside, and the city boomed — a direct link between resources, transport, and urbanization.
The Industrial Revolution moved production to factories, located where resources and transport met (break-of-bulk points). It powered urbanization and began the uneven spread of wealth — the regions that industrialised first became the richest.
