URBANIZATION
Manchester’s growth: 1760 = 45,000 people 1850 = 300, = 600,00
Why rush to the City—URBAN areas? More stable work than on the farm Opportunity in the city… “Everyone else is doing it!”— mentality …
New “classes” of people… (social classes…) Growing (upper) middle class: bourgeoisie, business owners, factory owners, professionals (accountants, lawyers), skilled workers (engineer, scientist), and entrepreneurs - not rich, and certainly not poor
… New Social Classes … Lower middle class: - factory managers, skilled machinists or craftsmen, foremen Working class: - workers in the mines, factories, low level workers, dirty workers
Living Conditions in Manchester No planning to the city No sanitary codes No building codes No public education established No garbage collection service Little police protection established Few paved streets
