Urbanization. One of the defining and most lasting features of the Industrial Revolution was the rise of cities. In pre-industrial society, over 80% of people lived in rural areas. As migrants moved from the countryside, small towns became large cities.n the first sixty years or so of the Industrial Revolution, working-class people had little time or opportunity for recreation.
