Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book details the problems of housing in cities and the countryside in the early 20th century. The author provides a historical overview of housing and the development of existing legislation with a focus on the challenges faced by the working class. The author notes that private enterprise has failed to keep pace with the demand of housing for the poor. This scarcity of housing has led to overcrowding, which in turn results in poor sanitation and increased risk of disease. The author discusses how the poor state of housing affects not only the physical health of the working class but also their moral well-being. Furthermore, it is noted that attempts to tackle the issue have been hindered by various defects in existing legislation.
