||This map shows where industrial centers were developing in
Europe in the mid-1800s. It also shows varying degrees of
urbanization. Notice that Britain, which industrialized first,
already has at least 20 percent of its population living in
cities of 100,000 or more. The regions on the continent with
between 6 and 10 percent of the population in such large cities
are also the regions that experienced greater industrial
development. Industrialization and urbanization went hand in
hand.
