History of Europe

What was an effect of transportation changes in cities that by the 1820?

By the 1820s, cities expanded because canals, turnpikes, and steamboats reduced transportation costs. More farmers came to the cities after transportation became available and efficient through various modes like waterways such as rivers & oceans using steamboats/steam-powered engines & by roads through turnpikes, enabling easy movement for a broader segment of the population, contributing to rapid growth in industrial hubs.
