Excerpt from The Housing of the Working Classes
Other countries besides this are 'realizing the danger, and begin ning to recognize the need for active measures in order to cope with the ever-increasing pressure. At the present moment America is profoundly agitated as to the conditions of her large towns and cities, and so serious has the situation become, that decided action cannot be long delayed.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book details the effects of the Industrial Revolution on urban housing and the lives of the working classes. Beginning with the historical context and development of overcrowding as a result of mass migration to cities seeking work in factories, the author explores the existing conditions of housing and the deleterious impact these had on the health and well-being of the inhabitants. The book further posits solutions such as model homes, which combine private with shared spaces to improve living conditions whilst also fostering a sense of community. Examining the design, construction and management of model properties, the author concludes that this approach can greatly alleviate issues of overcrowding, poor sanitation and improve the overall quality of life for the urban poor.
