Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the growth and social composition of modern cities, revealing their history, causes, and consequences. The author argues that the 19th century has witnessed a dramatic increase in urbanization, driven by factors such as the industrial revolution, improved sanitation, and increased demand for labor. The book analyzes the unique social challenges faced by cities, including the separation between working-class and other classes, as well as the influx of foreign-born inhabitants. The author also explores the threats posed by urban growth, such as corruption and social decay, and discusses the efforts made to address these issues, such as the work of Christian missions in London. Ultimately, this book provides insights into the complexities of urban life and the challenges and opportunities it presents for the future.
