EXPLANATION:Commercial development, railway construction, and slum clearance contributed to:
• the development of suburbs
Commercial development, railway construction, and slum clearance displaced many city dwellers and raised urban land values and rents. Consequently, both the middle classes and the working class began to seek housing elsewhere. The result, in virtually all countries, was the development of suburbs surrounding the city proper.

• overcrowding in the female labor force
Prostitution was, of course, not new. It had always been one way for poor women to find income. In the late nineteenth century, however, it was closely related to the difficulty encountered by indigent women who were trying to make their way in an overcrowded female labor force.
