The pinnacle of city growth was during the [[Industrial Revolution]] due to the demand for jobs created by the rise in factories.<ref name=":11">{{Cite web |title=Industrial Revolution and Technology {{!}} National Geographic Society |url=https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/industrial-revolution-and-technology |access-date=2022-12-16 |website=education.nationalgeographic.org}}</ref> Cities rapidly grew from the 1880s to the early 1900s within the United States. This demand led individuals to move from farms to cities<ref name=":11" /> which resulted in the need to expand city infrastructure and created a boom in population size.<ref>{{Cite web |title=modernization - Population change {{!}} Britannica |url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/modernization/Population-change |access-date=2022-12-16 |website=www.britannica.com |language=en}}</ref> This rapid growth in population in cities led to issues of noise, sanitation, health problems, traffic jams, pollution, compact living quarters, etc.<ref>{{Cite web |title=City Life in the Late 19th Century {{!}} Rise of Industrial America, 1876-1900 {{!}} U.S. History Primary Source Timeline {{!}} Classroom Materials at the Library of Congress |url=https://www.loc.gov/classroom-materials/united-states-history-primary-source-timeline/rise-of-industrial-america-1876-1900/city-life-in-late-19th-century/ |access-date=2022-12-16 |website=Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. 20540 USA}}</ref> In response to these issues, mass transit, trolleys, cable cars, and subways, were built and prioritized in an effort to improve the quality of the built environment. An example of this during the industrial revolution was the [[City Beautiful movement]]. The City Beautiful movement emerged in the 1890s as a result of the disorder and unhealthy living conditions within industrial cities.<ref name=":12">{{Cite book |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1258269397 |title=Oxford research encyclopedia of American history |year=2013 |editor=Jon Butler |isbn=978-0-19-932917-5 |location=New York, NY |oclc=1258269397}}</ref> The movement promoted improved circulation, civic centers, better sanitation, and public spaces. With these improvements, the goal was to improve the quality of life for those living in them, as well as make them more profitable.<ref name=":12" /> The City Beautiful movement, while declined in popularity over the years, provided a range of urban reforms. The movement highlighted city planning, civic education, public transportation, and municipal housekeeping.<ref name=":12" />
