Today my research essay topic is Compare and contrast the differing responses made in England to the problems of the industrial city in the nineteenth century.
City has a long history, but modern city is the product of industrialization. As the first country which had industrial revolution and finished urbanization in the nineteenth century, England conducted exploration urbanization, and became other countries urbanization mirror. Great England industrial revolution had brought great changes to the city, and created unprecedented wealth. However, the contradictions in the city had become more acute, such as poor living conditions, traffic congestion, environmental pollution, for which England began the industrial city reform movement, research

The serious consequences of the idea were negligible the reason is few of the architectural and social idealists had any brilliant idea or specific vision of the precise form which their utopians would take and, none of them ever got close to actually being built. Nonetheless, in the second half of the nineteenth century, there is a manufacture called Robert Owen (19771-1858), who is a utopia and also an activist. He proposed building villages of 1000-5000 population at a density of about one person to the acre with the residential building lay out in a parallelogram enclosing a central open space. (The garden city, Open University Press, England) By improving factory equipment and sanitation and other methods, Owen created a workplace as comfortable as possible for the workers at the time. He also decreased the workers' working hours from around 14 hours to 10 hours on his own initiative. Visiting his factory in New Lanark, people saw the workers quarters in neat rows, each family has two-bedroom. As Owen was focused on greening the environment, near the workers quarters, shady trees, flowers make the trip, which had a very positive effect on workers mental health. The utopian village of Owen would be a self-contained unit, which had a great success economically. I think he does not only provide workers with houses to live but also make them find themselves home in …show more content…
The air pollution, water pollution…brought lots of trouble for the country and people. During the nineteenth century, the source of power was the most important factor in the location of industrial activity. Initially the location was determined by the availability of wind or water power. The manipulation of water in order to drive water mills became very important in the England. All over the England, rivers were diverted; reservoirs were built in the hills to supply mills. The greater the catchment area and fall, the more powerful and continuous the source of water power was likely to be. Effective water management of rivers and canals was a valued skill, and utilized relatively high capital investment in mill buildings, machinery and infrastructural investment in canals. One of the most famous and grandest schemes is the mill at New Lanark in
In the nineteenth century, various inventions like the steam engine stimulated demand for products, thus introducing factories and workshops to manufacture those commodities. The popularization of Manchester initiated assorted reactions towards the industrialization of the cities surrounding Great Britain. While the industrial revolution ensued, numerous concerns occurred which all contemplated the affects of factories and industries engaged by the working division of society. As industry began to evolve for the operational lower classes, the positive, negative, and mutual reactions are denoted by various speakers whom were among the diverse social classes of society.
During the nineteenth century, Manchester, England became an increasingly industrialized city, and its population rose considerably. Although the industrialization of Manchester was extremely successful for the modernization of society, Manchester’s growth also raised many problems in society.

There were many different reactions to the effects that accompanied the growth of Manchester due to factors such as increased population density, and decreased air quality, most people wrote about the effects of Manchester’s growth negatively largely because of the decrease in quality of life, however there were some people who wrote positively of the changes, these were mostly people who would gain from saying good things about Manchester’s growth.

The 1880s in the United States was a time where immigration patterns drastically changed. More foreigners were pouring into the nation at a more rapid rate than ever before. These immigrants were met with mixed bag of responses, from militant anti-immigrant groups to welfare groups that met immigrants with relatively open arms. The response of the American public and government to new immigrants is exemplified in the minimal government checking, the exploitation of new immigrants, and the social reform characteristic of the time period.
A lifetime earlier, Robert Owen was seeking to change the world in a superficially similar way to Hobson. From humble beginnings, Owen would later revolutionise industry in Britain and initiated the first steps towards much of the labour reform seen today. A utilitarian socialist, Owen emphasised the malleability of a person’s character by their environment and believed that the implementation of humanist laws and policies could change the character of workers and indeed entire industries.

Robert Owen owned a textile mill in Scotland at the beginning of the nineteenth century and was one of the founders of Utopian Socialism. The observations he made of the working excessively harsh and tortorous working conditions of his mill workers, from 1799 to 1793 inspired him to formulate and write his first of a series of essays titled A New View of Society. Many considered his ideas groundbreaking and the forefront of labor reform and the formation of socialist and communist ideals worldwide. He claims that Man's Character is formed for him by his environment and his society. But his research at the time of his essay was based solely on his own observations from his own mills.
The Industrial Revolution in nineteenth-century England brought about many changes in British society. It was the advent of faster means of production, growing wealth for the Nation and a surplus of new jobs for thousands of people living in poverty. Cities were growing too fast to adequately house the numerous people pouring in, thus leading to squalid living conditions, increased filth and disease, and the families reliance upon their children to survive. The exploitation of children hit an all time peak in Britain when generations of its youth were sacrificed to child labor and the “Coffers” of England.

The factory system, that developed during the Industrial Revolution, had a large impact on society and the lifestyles of the citizens of England. Beginning in 1760, many people were forced move from their farms outside of the major cities to inside of the cities. The farm landowners closed off their land and they were no longer available to lease, which caused numerous workers to lose their jobs.The development of machines that were water powered, such as the spinning jenny and water frame, made the process of weaving and spinning cloth easier and faster. With these technologies, the textile industry flourished and factory owners became very wealthy by forcing workers to work long hours for low salaries. Their low wages did not afford them to live comfortably, which meant that many people had to live in crowded buildings that were unsanitary. Not only did these factory workers have poor living conditions, but the working conditions in the factories were dangerous, especially for children. Life in England changed a considerable amount during the Industrial Revolution and the views of citizens were altered.
A lot of history has been made throughout the many years of exploration and education throughout the world.
