5We are looking at the broad economic erafrom 1850-1900 mostly.Industrialization means factories began to make goods. Machines powered by water or steam helped people produce goods more cheaply and quickly.

Urbanization, living in towns, grew because large numbers worked in factories.

After 1900 and the development of the oil-powered automobile, people began to live in suburbs, outside the downtown core.
