Slumology (The Reformers)


“It is clear that juvenile delinquency, crime and vice thrive in an environment of bad housing... many of these surveys have indicated that it is the slum that makes the slum dweller, not the slum dweller the slum, and therefore the elimination of the slum one tends to get the elimination of lower social standards”

Citizens’ Housing and Planning Association, Submission to the Advisory Committee on Reconstruction (Curtis Report), 1944.
