- Because of so many
immigrants coming from
China- Chinese exclusion
act was put- then

these people, so-
- This led to
Urbanization- or
growth of cities
- Since so many people were coming
from different countries and don't
know a word in english- they needed
jobs so in order to work and be helpful to the society-

movement was designed-
assimilated people to
dominant culture. Schools
and programs were
designed.

problems, immigrants who were
assimilated into the dominant cultures
wanted to live near work so they lived
in-

overcrowded and
unsanitary
multifamily urban
dwellings

move large numbers of
people, which enabled
people to get to work
easily.

solution to one of the
problems of urbanization-
