The cities influenced colonial life in a variety of ways. Firstly
the cities were the main center for trade and commerce. Many industries also
developed in the cities. The colonial people would come to the cities for their
jobs in the factories that came up. It improved their lives financially. Also
as trade and commerce took place in the cities, the colonial people learned
about the culture of people living in faraway places. This influenced their cultural
life immensely. Also they shared their life style and art with people that came
to the cities for selling arts and crafts.
