Industrial Technology:
Because of all the immigrants moving into the cities, there was more buildings in desperate need of making. Immigrants moved to the cities to have a better life. It turns out that the cities in America did offer that. They offered bright lights, running water, and modern plumbing, plus attractions like libraries and museums. With more people moving into the cities there was a higher need to build things like Skyscrapers and no one contributed more to this design than Louis Sullivan. Workers had many struggles though like moving mass transit off of streets. Chicago built elevated roads while New York and Boston were building the first subway systems.
