The development of factories and centers of industry causing an increase in urbanization.
Explanation:
Cottage industries that existed before the industrial revolution could not compete with the production capabilities of the machines developed during the industrial revolution.
An early example was the textile industry. Cloth had been produced by individuals in their homes using spinning wheels and hand looms. With the water powered textile mills cloth could be mass produced.
The individual spinning wheels went out of use. Single women moved to the locations where water power could be used to provide energy needed for the machines.
This pattern was repeated in other industries. Black smiths were reduced to shoeing horses. Plows, drills, wheels as other iron and steel items were produced in large factories. People moved to where the factories were located.
James Watt's steam engine allowed large factories to be placed, in other locations than where fact moving water could provide power. This only increased the movement to factory production and urbanization.
