Urbanization and Indutrialization

In the section about urbanization, I learned about the second industrial revolution in the late 19th and early 20th century. What I learned about the second industrial revolution was that it changed the physical setting of cities, brought in technology, and it changed the intellectual setting as well. The physical setting was changed because of the rapid population growth and because of the large amount of people that began to move to cities. Because of the rapid growth, health challenges began to show up. For example, cholera, which was a tropical disease caused by mosquitoes. Electricity, railroads, communication, and steel were some of the new technologies that arose. The forms of communication made life much easier. Darwinism was survival of the fittest. Which is that the people who earned more lived a better life than the people who did not.

In my view the most interesting city to live in would be Puebla, Mexico. I think it would be very interesting and truly AMAZING to live there because there is always something to do. There is a wide variety of malls and large shopping centers. One of the places that has many important buildings and stores is the Zocalo. Puebla is also called the City of Angels due to the fact that there are about 365 churches and they all have very many angels on the inside and outside. Puebla has the smallest volcano in the world the volcano is called Cuexcomate. One of the bad things about living in Puebla is that there is an exaggerating amount of traffic.
