3. THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
The industrial revolution refers to a profound
influence of new developing science and
technologies.
Began 275 years ago (~1870s)
- Production, commerce, trade, and distribution of goods
expanded rapidly
- Shifted dependence from renewable resources to non-
renewable resources
- New machines were then created and large-scale
production became prevalent
- More food and supplies became available so the population
began to grow rapidly

4. (a)The productive system
-At a time when the large population could not be
absorbed in agriculture fully. -causing change in the
economic leadership.
-Industrialization starts
(b) The socio cultural scene
Leading to basic structural change in the
society and income
• Class orientation , caste declining
• New pattern of entrepreneurs emerges
• New pattern of exploitation of poor emerges
• Religion and cultural ties lose importance

5. (C) Political aspect
• The crown declines
• The nobles and landlords decline
• Industrial entrepreneurs emerges as powerful
bodies
• Administration becomes difficult
• Colonialization starts
(d) Geographical factors
• Newly productive industrial areas opened up in
areas not necessary good for agriculture
• Different patterns of settlements starts
• Start of regional planning

6. EFFECTS OF INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

7. With the invention
of steam engine
mechanical power
became
independent of
hand operation
Entrepreneurs
applied this power to
increase production
at very fast rate
With increased
production of goods,
trades increased and
expanded
Mass production
made it possible
for more people to
have more things.
Capitalism of
industrial system
started. No. of
employees in
proportion to
owners increase.
With increased
trading the shop
moved from home
into shop garter
Factory became a
magnet , drawing
more no. of young
men and women
A new need was
felt for an ever
increasing no. of
worker’s dwellings
, schools & shops
Traffic congestion
paralleled the
increase in
population density

8. PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY
• Measures for the public health and
safety were extended during 19th
century.
• The first system of water supply by
gravity flow, was installed pumping
systems were in general use, and
methods for the disposal and
treatment of sewage improve.

9. PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY
• The heavy buildings cover on the land
reduced the natural drainage of the city.
• But extensive street paving permitted
effective cleaning and strong sewers
augmented the sanitary equipment.
• Common use in city street
lamps.Electricity began to replace gas
for street lighting.

10. Advantages :
• Services for the health, safety and
convenience of the urban population
advanced .
• Glorification of the industrial system and
the fruits of its newborn activity blinded
people to the ruin and havoc spreading
across the urban community.

11. Disadvantages:
• Many of the systems of public health and
safety that arose in the 19th century still
are in use.they are obsolete.
• Their continued use and the consequent
difficulties with sewage and solid waste
disposal are reflections of some
citites,problems,both economic and
political.

12. CITY AND FACTORY TOWN
• The steam railroad extended its rails from raw
products to the factory , and to the cities of
consumers all over the land.
• Every amenity of urban life was sacrificed to
the requirements of industrial production.
• Railroads and ships joined at the factories , and
the waterfront became the industrial core of
the city.

13. CITY AND FACTORY TOWN
• The impact of industrial revolution was first felt in
England the new industrial economy brought with it
greater exploitation of the poor and with that the
new slums.
• What could be called mechanical slums , row upon
row of crowded workers ‘ houses in the shadow of
the factory, were added to the traditional slums .
• The degraded environment of the factory town hung
like a cloud over urban life for the next century and a
half.

14. • Among the deplorable slums of he 19th
century factory town in England , the 2
storey row house predominated ,
stretching in long rows with small
backyards and narrow streets.
• The living environment was dreary and
monotonous.

15. • Crowding on the European continent ,
however , was even more severe , as
indicated in the outline of a tenement block in
Vienna.
• Built to ah height of four and five floors , the
block typically contained a double row of
dwellings , the interior row facing a narrow
interior court on both sides.

16. Industrial growth in large
centers induced the
people to remain in cities
rather than migrate to
the more healthful
environments of rural
communities , and the
inevitable result was the
creation of slums .
