Answer 1

The correct answer is "Zoning codes controlled the types of buildings, where they were built, and encouraged safety improvements.

In the early days of the Industrial Revolution, the number of buildings to accommodate the great numbers of people coming from the countryside grew disorderly, which resulted in narrow, filthy, and bad-smelling streets where diseases and epidemics could spread rapidly.
