Industrialization creates job opportunities in factories and industries, which are typically located in urban areas. This draws people from rural areas to cities in search of better livelihoods.

In developing countries, the shift from agriculture to an industrial economy is often rapid. This rapid industrialization can lead to a surge in urbanization as people migrate to cities for work.
