Peasants moved to cities in the 14th century primarily in search of better economic opportunities and improved living conditions. The decline of feudalism, exacerbated by events such as the Black Death, reduced the demand for agricultural labor, prompting many to seek jobs in urban areas. Additionally, cities offered access to trade, crafts, and a greater sense of social mobility, attracting rural populations eager for change. This migration contributed to the growth of urban centers and the rise of a more dynamic economy.
