In this richly illustrated book, Laura Vaughan examines maps of ethnic or religious difference, poverty, and health Mapping inequalities, demonstrating how they not only serve as historical records of social enquiry, but also constitute inscriptions of social patterns that have been etched deeply on the surface of cities. Society The book covers themes such as the use of visual rhetoric to change public Society opinion, the evolution of sociology as an academic practice, changing attitudes to The Spatial Dimensions physical disorder, and the complexity of segregation as an urban phenomenon. While the focus is on historical maps, the narrative carries the discussion of the of Social Cartography spatial dimensions of social cartography forward to the present day, showing how disciplines such as public health, crime science, and urban planning, chart spatial data in their current practice. Containing examples of space syntax analysis alongside full-colour maps and photographs, this volume will appeal to all those interested in the long-term forces that shape how people live in cities. Laura Vaughan is Professor of Urban Form and Society at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL. In addition to her research into social cartography, she has Vaughan Laura written on many other critical aspects of urbanism today, including her previous book for UCL Press, Suburban Urbanities: Suburbs and the Life of the High Street.

  • Housing for the Working Classes in the East End of London, 1890-1907
    This dissertation has been 69-15,967 microfilmed exactly as received STEFFEL, Richard Vladimir, 1935- HOUSING FOR THE WORKING CLASSES IN THE EAST END OF LONDON, 1890-1907. The Ohio State University, Ph.D., 1969 History, modern University Microfilms, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan _ Richard Vladimir Steffel 1969 © __________________________________ ALL RIGHTS RESERVED HOUSING FOR THE WORKING CLASSES IN THE EAST END OF LONDON, 1890-1907 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University j By Rj Vladimir Steffel, A.B., B.Sc. in Ed., M.A. ****** The Ohio State University 1969 Approved by Adviser Department of History PREPACE The general acceptance of public responsibility for providing decent housing for the poorer working classes in England was a slow and recent development, the major stimulus coming from the Pirst World War. Attitudes of most Englishmen toward public housing were the same before and after the war and were largely determined by a poor law mentality as regards the indigent, which advocated minimal government action. Permissive legislation, nevertheless, erected a base and the amending process strengthened the powers of local authorities. The objective of this study is to trace the interaction of various levels of government and public opinion grappling with the urban crisis. It is a case study of housing in the East End of London, with emphasis on the role of the London County Council from 1889 to 1907. It has become accepted that the majority of the working class lived in or near poverty in the 1880s and 1890s, the basic cause being underemployment.
