The population distribution shifted over time toward living in urban settlements due to industrialization, which resulted in a significant increase in job opportunities in cities. As more people moved to urban areas for work, the population in these areas grew rapidly. Additionally, advancements in transportation made it easier for people to commute to and from urban centers, further attracting individuals to live in cities. The availability of better infrastructure, services, and higher living standards in urban areas also played a role in the shift in population distribution.
