DEFINITION of 'Industrialization'. The process in which a society or country (or world) transforms itself from a primarily agricultural society into one based on the manufacturing of goods and services.
Industrialization and Urbanization. Industrialization and urbanization, or growth of cities, went hand in hand. Cities offered large numbers of workers for new factories. Cities provided transportation for raw materials and manufactured goods, as well as markets for the consumption of finished products. As more factories were built, more workers, both native-born and immigrant, moved to cities seeking jobs.
