Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the importance of proper regulation of buildings and streets for public safety. It argues that health, comfort, and safety are all impacted by the quality of buildings, focusing on three key areas: building structure, drainage, and ventilation. The author draws connections between building quality and public healthâ"showing how buildings can spread disease and discussing the dangers of fire and poor air quality. The book also explores the dangers of poorly planned or maintained public streets, using examples from the author's own time. Through historical examples, the author argues for increased regulation of private buildings to protect the health and safety of the public at large.
