The technological boom in 19th century contributed to the growth of cities. Immigrants that came to the United States. The people that worked on the farms didn't have to work. They left because of the racial tension and they moved to the north the job competition between the whites and blacks. The immigrants took over the buildings in the city when the working class people left. The buildings became unsanitary and unsafe quickly because the immigrants were packed together. The smell was really bad. They wanted to improve the lives of poor people. By the year 1910 there were over 400 settlement houses through the country.
