So basically, industrialization historically led to urbanization by producing economic growth and job opportunities that will draw people to these cities. The concept of Urbanization basically begins when a factory and or multiple factories are being established in a region (this creates a high demand for factory labor)

Cities and towns grew during the Industrial Revolution because laborers left farms to cluster in dense areas around the factories that offered better-paid employment. Industrialism raised the standard of living across the board, leading cities and towns to expand to accommodate wealthier populations.
