The Problem Of Greater New York And Its Solution (1914)

""The Problem of Greater New York and Its Solution"" is a book written by Harry Chase Brearley and published in 1914. The book explores the challenges faced by the rapidly growing city of New York at the turn of the 20th century and proposes solutions to address them. Brearley examines the social, economic, and political issues that arise from the consolidation of New York City in 1898, which brought together five boroughs and over three million people. He argues that the city's growth has led to overcrowding, poor living conditions, and a lack of adequate infrastructure. To solve these problems, Brearley proposes a series of reforms, including the creation of a metropolitan government to oversee the entire region, the development of a comprehensive transportation system, and the establishment of public housing to provide affordable living spaces for the city's working-class residents. Overall, ""The Problem of Greater New York and Its Solution"" provides an insightful analysis of the challenges facing one of the world's largest cities at a pivotal moment in its history and offers practical solutions for addressing them.With A Supplementary Chapter.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
