摘要

The second part of the nineteenth century witnessed tumultuous social changes in the Kingdom of Poland. The rapid development of industry led to a massive population rise in its cities. Existing ones became significantly larger—the population of Warsaw rose threefold between 1864 and 1900, from 222,000 inhabitants up to 686,000; Łódź became a major textile industry capital and its population rose from 32,000 citizens in 1860 to 314,000 in 1900. Some cities, with the prominent example of Żyrardów, were specifically set up to support the growing needs of the factories built outside of urban areas, in proximity to small villages that soon became the source of the first wave of new factory workers.
