At the end of the Revolutionary War, the United States took control of New York City. After the war, New York was a booming sea port. It became one of the biggest sea ports in the world. At the time, New York City became prosperous and was one of the biggest and most populated cities in the world. A lot of the buildings that were built in the early 1800’s still remain New York fixtures.
Some of the most popular skyscrapers of New York City are the Chrysler Building, American Radiator Building, and, of course, the Empire State Building. What makes these skyscrapers such popular sightseeing locations to Americans? New York is the largest and most well-known skyscraper city. This is mainly because of the history behind these buildings. Perhaps this is why skyscrapers are such a tourist attraction to Americans.
Large industries were placed in the Western suburbs and the extremely wealthy lived in massive mansions near the Yarra River. Almost all suburbs had access to a network of train and trams which were said to be the most modern in the world. Because of the economic boom of the gold rush, much of the inner part of Melbourne had outstanding Victorian architecture and housing. Melbourne was well known for its vast collection of building; ranging from cosy cottages to 12-story buildings. With the distinct Victorian architecture in mind, architects designed extraordinary buildings such as the State Library, University of Melbourne and the Royal Exhibition Building.
Population growth and subsequent increases in economic activity are the catalyst for movement of people to common areas. In the case of Australian, towns & cities emerged as people emigrated from Europe; largely from the UK in the 18th and 19th centuries. Together in population growth, the growth in ideas and innovations lead to new industries and economics. From the time of colonisation, Sydney was a town with an economy based around the maritime industry. As it was located next to an ocean port, manufacturing and trade in commodities was central to its growth.
