Understanding Urbanization and Immigration
Source A: Growth of Cities due to Immigration
'During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, millions of immigrants arrived in America, many settling in urban areas such as New York, Chicago, and Boston. These newcomers contributed to rapid city growth, providing labor for factories and building the infrastructure of the expanding cities.' Provenance: Excerpt from a historical overview on U.S. urban growth, 1920.
Source B: Experiences of Immigrant Communities
'Immigrants often lived in crowded tenements, faced discrimination, and worked in low-paid, difficult jobs. Despite these hardships, many communities established their own churches, schools, and cultural organizations to maintain their heritage.' Provenance: Historical account from a social history book, 1985.
