Answer: enclosure.
Explanation: The Enclosure movement (18th–19th century Britain) legally consolidated common fields and open pasture into individually owned, fenced parcels. That directly reduced land available for communal use and increased privatized farmland, displacing smallholders and pushing many to migrate to towns. Migration, mechanization, and urbanization were related effects or consequences but did not themselves create the large-scale privatization of land in the way enclosure did.
