用法筆記
In historical contexts, 'industrialisation' (often capitalised as 'Industrialisation' within a specific period reference) typically pairs with 'urbanisation', 'mechanisation', and 'the Industrial Revolution'. Distinguish from Sense 1 — this sense is time-bound (roughly 1760–1900 in Europe) and emphasises social consequences rather than the economic process itself.
