Urbanization

Structural steel revolutionized urban architecture, leading to iconic developments like the Brooklyn Bridge and the Chicago skyscrapers. The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 necessitated a redesign of the city, attracting a surge of population and giving rise to the "Chicago School" of architects. Key public works, including improved sewer systems and public libraries, enhanced urban living standards. However, politics played a significant role, with figures like Boss Tweed highlighting issues of corruption and graft in governance, particularly in New York.
