3. Characteristics of the City
Towns and cities are larger in scale than other human settlements.
Ancient cities could develop only when an increase in food supplies made it possible to
support a wide range of non-food producers. Cities were often the centers of political
power, administrative network, trade and industry, religious institutions, and
intellectual activity and supported various social groups such as artisans, merchants
and priests.
4. Cities themselves can vary greatly in size and complexity. They can be densely settled
modern-day metropolises, which combine political and economic functions for an
entire region, and support very large populations. Or they can be smaller urban centers
with limited functions.
5. Industrialization and the Rise of the Modern City in England
The early industrial cities of Britain such as Leeds and Manchester attracted large
numbers of migrants to the textile mills set up in the late eighteenth century.
By 1750, one out of every nine people of England and Wales lived in London. It was a
colossal city with a population of about 675000. Over the nineteenth century, London
continued to expand, reached 4 million by 1880.
City of London was a powerful magnet for migrant populations, even though it did nt
have large factories. Apart from the London dockyards, five major types of industries
employed large numbers : clothing and footwear, wood and furniture, metals and
engineering, printing and stationary, and precision products such as surgical
instruments, watches, and objects of precious metal.
6.
7. Marginal Groups
Criminals
As London grew, crime flourished. 20000 criminals
were living in London in the 1870s. Crime became
an object of widespread concern. Population of
criminals was counted, their activities were
watched and their ways of life were investigated.
Some criminals were in fact poor people who lived
by stealing lead from roofs, food from shops, lumps
of coal, and clothes drying on hedges. Others were
more skilled at their trade, expert at their jobs.
They were the cheats and tricksters, pickpockets
and petty thieves crowding the streets of London.
8. Women
By the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century,
with technological developments, women gradually
lost their industrial jobs, and were forced to work
within households. A large number of women used
their homes to increase family income by taking in
lodgers or through such activities as tailoring, washing
or matchbox making.
In the twentieth century, women got employment in
wartime industries and offices, they withdrew from
domestic service.
9. Children
Large number of children were pushed to
low-paid work, often by their parents. The
felt crime was more profitable than
laboring in small underpaid factories. It
was only after passage of the Compulsory
Elementary Education Act in 1870, and the
factory acts beginning from 1902, that
children were kept out of industrial work.
10. Housing
When people began pouring in after the Industrial Revolution, factory or workshop
owners did not house the migrant workers. Instead, individual landowners put up cheap,
and usually unsafe, tenements for the new arrivals.
Poverty was more concentrated and starkly visible in the city. 1 million Londoners were
very poor and were expected to live only up to an average age of 29.
11. Better-off city dwellers demanded
that slums simply be cleared away
Vast mass of one-room houses occupied by
the poor were seen as a serious threat to
public health : they were overcrowded,
badly ventilated, and lacked sanitation.
Were worried about fire hazards created by
poor housing
Widespread fear of social disorder, especially
after the Russian Revolution in 1917.
The elites became increasingly worried
about drunkenness and squalor on the
streets.
12. Cleaning London
Attempts were made to decongest localities, green
the open space, reduce pollution and landscape
the city. Large blocks of apartments were built,
rent control was introduced in Britain during the
First World war to ease the impact of a severe
housing shortage.
Congestion in the nineteenth-century industrial
city also led to a yearning for clean country air.
Attempts were made to bridge the difference
between city and countryside through such ideas
as the Green Belt around London.
13. Ebenezer Howard’s Garden City
Architect and planner Ebenezer Howard developed the
principle of the Garden City.
A pleasant space full f plants and trees, where people would
both live and work.
There were common garden spaces, beautiful views and
great attention to detail.
He believed this would also produce better quality citizens.
Between the two World Wars, the responsibility for housing
the working classes was accepted by the British state, and a
million houses were built by local authorities.
14. Transport in the City
Need – People could not be persuaded to leave the city and live in garden suburbs unless
there were some means of traveling to the city for work. And came the London
Underground Railway. Opened on 10 January 1863 between Paddington and Farrington
Street in London, 10000 passengers were carried per day, with trains running every ten
minutes. By 1880 the expanded train service was carrying 40 million passengers a year.
15. ‘At first people were afraid to travel underground’
Atmosphere in the compartment was a mixture of sulphur, coal dust and foul fumes and
the gas lamps and smoke emitted by passengers smoking pipes.
Many felt that the ‘iron monsters’ added to the mess and unhealthiness of the city.
The massive destruction it created in the process of construction. To make
approximately two miles of railway, 900 houses had to be destroyed.
Outcomes
Yet the Underground eventually became a huge success. The population in the city
became more dispersed. Better-planned suburbs and a good railway network enabled
large numbers to live outside central London and travel to work.
These new conveniences wore down social distinctions and also created new ones.
16. Social Change in the City
Shape of the family were completely transformed by life in the industrial city.
Ties between members of households loosened, institution of marriage tended to broke
down. Women of the upper and middle classes in Britain faced increasingly higher
levels of isolation.
Women who worked for wages had some control over their lives, particularly among
the lower social classes. Family as an institution has broken down.
17. Men, women and Family in the City
Encouraged a new spirit of individualism.
Men and women did not have equal access to urban
space.
Women were forced to withdraw into their homes,
public space became increasingly a male preserve,
domestic sphere was meant for women.
Chartism and 10-hour movement mobilised large
numbers of men.
By the twentieth century, women were employed in
large numbers to meet war demands. The family now
consisted of much smaller units.
Family became the heart of a new market – of goods
and services, and of ideas.
18. Leisure and Consumption
Several cultural events, such as the opera, the theatre
and classical music performances were organized for an
elite group of 300-400 families.
Working classes met in pubs to have a drink, exchange
news and sometimes also to organize for political action.
Libraries, art galleries and museums were established in
the 19th century to provide people with a sense of
history and pride in the achievements of the British.
Music halls were popular among the lower classes, by
the early 20th century, cinema became the great mass
entertainment for mixed audiences.
Workers were increasingly encouraged to spend their
holidays by the sea.
19. Politics in The City
In the severe winter of 1886, the London poor exploded in a riot, demanding relief from
the terrible conditions of poverty. Alarmed shopkeepers closed down their
establishments, fearing the10000 strong crowd that was marching from Deptford to
London.
A similar riot occurred in late 1887; this time, it was brutally suppressed by the police in
what came to be known as the Bloody Sunday of November 1887.
Two years later, thousands of London’s dockworkers went on strike and marched through
the city.
The above example prove that , large masses of people could be drawn into political
causes in the city. A large population was thus both a threat and an opportunity.
