(Halliday, 2007, p 19) The modernisation of agriculture and industry caused a growing prosperity and this attracted migrations of people to the industrialised cities and towns, which suffered an unexpected demographic growth. Britain was the first industrialised nation, the so-called ‘industrial shop of the world’ and had a reputation to keep.
During this time in the nineteenth century, Cronon noted that the city and country were equally important to each other. The metropolis relied on the hinterland to provide valuable raw materials, while the hinterland depended on the city to manufacture, transport, and sell its goods. One of the biggest services Chicago had to offer was that it played an important role in linking the agricultural hinterland to its market in the east. Cronon proposed an idea that if not for Chicago in particular, another city would have achieved its same status as the gateway city to take its place. To him it seemed inevitable that a city like Chicago would form and serve as a gateway between the east and west.

Urban sprawl is the spreading outwards of a city and making the suburbs its outskirts which is why our major cities in our country are the sizes they are today. By enlarging each cities boundaries, it lead to the creation of zoning, which is still in affect and plays a vital role in our society. Suburbanization in America was due to several factors including the over crowding of cities, pollution, new infrastructure, and the belief of a lower quality of life in the city. In this era the United States was under going some major changes that were developing the country into how we know it today.
