How did industrialization lead to increased segregation?

Industrialization led to increased segregation by creating urban centers that attracted a diverse workforce, including immigrants and African Americans seeking jobs. As these groups settled in cities, competition for resources and housing intensified, leading to racial and ethnic tensions. This often resulted in the establishment of segregated neighborhoods and discriminatory practices, such as redlining and restrictive covenants, which further entrenched social divisions. Consequently, industrialization not only transformed economies but also exacerbated social inequalities and segregation.
