Essays on the Street Re-Alignment, Reconstruction, and Sanitation of Central
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the immensely complex and multifaceted issue of housing Londonâs poor. The author, William Westgarth, a prominent figure in the improvement and reconstruction of 19th-century London, provides a comprehensive analysis of the problem, examining historical context, architectural and engineering considerations, as well as the financial aspects of large-scale urban renewal. The bookâs main focus is on developing a self-sustaining business enterprise that would undertake the daunting task of improving the housing conditions of Londonâs poorest while also reconstructing and improving the sanitation of the city's overcrowded and unhealthy central areas. Westgarth argues that such an enterprise could be financed through the natural increment of property values that would result from the improvements, leading to a healthier, more prosperous city without putting an undue burden on taxpayers. Thoroughly researched and full of valuable insights, this book offers a thought-provoking framework that remains relevant today, providing invaluable lessons for urban planners, policymakers, and anyone interested in the challenges of improving the living conditions of the urban poor. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781528215657_0
