Where in 1900 are large cities concentrated in clusters? What does their distribution tell us about the scale and location of industrialization in nineteenth-century Europe?CONNECTIONS In 1800, what common characteristics were shared by many large European cities? (For example, how many big cities were capitals or leading ports?) Were any common characteristics shared by the large cities in 1900?
