Answer:

Industrialization led to the creation of the factory and the factory system contributed to the growth of urban areas as large numbers of workers migrated into the cities in search of work in the factories. ... In England and Wales, the proportion of the population living in cities jumped from 17% in 1801 to 72% in 1891
