Print on Demand. This book explores social, industrial, and public health problems through archival research and empirical investigation of West Ham, a growing extra-metropolitan London suburb. The author traces the borough's expansion from a market garden and residential district into a center for manufacturing and casual labor. Amidst the rapid growth, the public health and living conditions of West Ham declined. The book explores this decline through the lens of housing, employment, local government, and other social institutions. It will be of interest to urban planners and policymakers today, as many of the challenges faced by West Ham are mirrored in modern cities. 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.
