Better Dwellings For The Workmen Of London: How To Obtain Them is a book written by Pascoe Fenwick and first published in 1884. The book focuses on the issue of poor living conditions for the working class in London during the 19th century. Fenwick, an architect and social reformer, provides a detailed analysis of the problem and proposes solutions for improving the quality of housing for the city's working population.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the housing situation in London, highlighting the overcrowding, lack of sanitation, and high rent that many working-class families faced. The second part presents a series of case studies of successful housing projects in other cities, including Glasgow, Liverpool, and Manchester. Fenwick uses these examples to demonstrate the potential for improving living conditions in London.The final part of the book outlines Fenwick's own proposals for improving housing in London. He advocates for the construction of new, purpose-built housing for working-class families, with a focus on providing adequate space, ventilation, and sanitation. He also argues for the creation of public parks and playgrounds, as well as the regulation of rents and the enforcement of building standards.Overall, Better Dwellings For The Workmen Of London: How To Obtain Them is an important historical document that sheds light on the living conditions of London's working class in the late 19th century. Fenwick's proposals for improving housing and public spaces remain relevant today, and the book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of urban planning and social reform.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
