Synopsis

This book meticulously examines the link between rural depopulation and the disproportionately high incidence of tuberculosis in large urban areas. The author analyzes data from the late 19th and early 20th centuries to demonstrate how the influx of rural residents into cities like Paris led to overcrowding, poor sanitation, and a sharp increase in tuberculosis cases. The author argues that this phenomenon was driven by a combination of economic factors, such as the decline of small-scale farming, and social factors, including the allure of urban opportunities. The book not only sheds light on the historical roots of this public health crisis but also highlights the ongoing need to address the underlying socioeconomic conditions that contribute to health disparities in urban environments.
