AN IMMIGRANT

Urban Populations Boom for 2 reasons 1.immigration2.In-Migration
*Be able to explain each*
Age of Cities
Hmm… What could the
difference be here?
Jobs drew people to cities – Meatpacking plants– Steel mills– Garment factories– Salesclerks– Waiters– Barbers– Bank tellers– Secretaries
Groups Moving to Cities• Immigrants – better lives/ work• Farmers – stable jobs• African Americans – better lives/
opportunities for work
Patterns of City SettlementCities grew outward from downtown sections
POOR
MIDDLE CLASS
RICH
THINK
Poor– Poor families were rooted in the city’s center (old
sections)– Streets jammed with people, horses, pushcarts, garbage– People bought out buildings & turned them into factories
to maintain cheap rent– Limited space called for tenements
Tenements: small apartments in a city slum building
–6 or 7 stories high, divided into small apartments–No windows, heat or indoor bathrooms–10 people to a room per usual–Typhoid & cholera spread–Tuberculosis (lung disease) biggest killer » thousands die per year (babies)
Middle Class– Beyond the slums, just surrounding the epicenter
(middle)– Doctors, lawyers, business managers, skilled machinists,
office workers– Rows of neat houses with trees– Still disease spreads, but less frequently
– Leisure activities: sense of community & purpose• Clubs, choirs, bowling teams, charities• “Bring together many people who are striving upward,
trying to uplift themselves”
Middle Class
Rich
– Outskirts of the city, far ends– Brick walls & iron gates– Mansions on 5th Avenue (NY)– Lakefront property (Chicago)– Modeled lives after European
royalty: artwork, parties, cigarettes rolled in $100 bills
