Roy Lubove focuses his study on New York City, detailing the methods, accomplishments, and limitations of housing reform at the turn of the twentieth century. The book is based in part on personal interviews with, and the unpublished writings of Lawrence Veiller, the dominant figure in housing reform between 1898 and 1920. Lubove views Veiller's role, surveys developments prior to 1890, and views housing reform within the broader context of progressive-era protest and reform.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoy Lubove\u003c\/b\u003e was professor of social welfare and history at the University of Pittsburgh and the author of several books, including: \u003ci\u003eThe Struggle for Social Security, 1900-1935; Community Planning in the 1920s: The Contribution of the Regional Planning Association of America; Twentieth-Century Pittsburgh, Volume One: Government, Business, and Environmental Change;\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTwentieth-Century Pittsburgh, Volume Two: The Post-Steel Era.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 15, 1963\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52637747478835,"sku":"9780822983798","price":104.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/rzNQqR_2WG9780822983798.webp?v=1762300453","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-progressives-and-the-slums-tenement-house-reform-in-new-york-city-1890-1917-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
