As Europe industrialized, millions of young people migrated from the countryside to the cities. Find out in this episode what their lives were like and how the physical environment of the city effected their identities. Along the way, we'll learn about challenges presented by food adulteration, the lack of modern sanitation systems, and diseases like Cholera. We'll also discuss the Ripper murders and how they symbolized everything wrong with the modern city.
