British industrial centers, such as Manchester, were highly disorganized as they evolved because
  1. They were administrated by the working class that inhabited them.
  2. They were generally isolated rural locations.
  3. The growth occurred so slowly there was little interest in accommodating it.
  4. There were no administrative mechanisms in place for developing cities.
  5. Social problems within the lower classes shaped the formation of the cities.
Explanation
Answer: D - The disorganized growth of industrial centers stemmed from the fact that there were no administrative mechanisms equipped to deal with such rapid growth. Industrial centers emerged from markets towns that were largely governed under manorial systems. The manorial system made structural administration difficult, which, when combined with the explosive growth, created wretched living conditions for industrial workers.
