How did industrialization help cities grow?Check all of the boxes that apply.

Answer
A
Railroads and trains took raw materials away from cities.
B
New processes, like making steel, increased the number and size of buildings.
C
Changing industries and new jobs attracted people to cities.

Explanation

New industrial processes, including steelmaking, supplied stronger materials that made it possible to build more and taller buildings. Industrial growth also created new kinds of jobs, drawing people to cities for work. Railroads generally brought raw materials to factories and carried finished goods out; saying they took raw materials away from cities does not explain urban growth.
