Question

Why did big cities in the late 1800's and early 1900's have problems

with water, sanitation (garbage), crime, and fire?
Write a brief paragraph hitting on at least one reason for each of the
four problems listed in the question

Answer 1

the reason why there were problems with urbanization is because, for 1 as urban populations grew, governmental facilities were not prepared for such a massive boom in population, combined with them not having much sanitation systems, and indoor piping, which forced people to fetch water from a pumping reservoir, yet it was also infected with cholera, which lived in unsanitary conditions, which helped it prosper. Crime was really rampant due to police forces really not existing yet proper, which led to outdated systems attempting to police crime, such as thief takers, and etc, which led to the rise of jonathan wild, which used his underground connections to find stolen items, so he could sell it to his customers. Improper garbage disposal led to outbreaks of diseases. Whilst fires proved a problem due to most housing not being concrete, but wood, which helped spark the chicago fires, in 1800s, and 1900s, which led to most of the city being set to flame.

Answer 2

Well in the late 1900 and 1800 they had problems with this mainly because nobody was really like, REALLY enforcing the law, and also because many big cities, we're kinda short on money. So the crime took advantage of this and caused much choas, because they knew that the city was already run down and losing money fast because of its problems, they just did what they do best, steal, kill and multiply
