"The Progressives and the Slums" chronicles the reform of tenement
housing, where some of the worst living conditions in the world
existed. 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personal interviews with, and the unpublished writings of Lawrence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.
