Explore the forces that drove millions of people from farms to factories, shaped modern cities, and continue to influence how Americans live and work today.


What You'll Learn

Industrialization drove millions from rural farms to growing cities.

Urban sprawl, suburbanization, and white flight reshaped American metropolitan regions.
Modern planning uses mixed-use development and transit for sustainable cities.

What You'll Practice

Learners define key terms like tenements, redlining, and gentrification.

3

Why This Matters
