JAMA 100 YEARS AGO.
Abstract
The article presents a reprint of the article "Congestion and Concentration," which originally appeared in the journal on May 9, 1908. The author discusses the impact the congestion and concentration of populations in large cities has on public health. He argues that congestion is hazardous while a concentrated population can be beneficial. Housing development and the enactment of tenement housing laws to improve sanitary conditions are discussed.
