Which solution (or attempt solution) to an urban problem discussed in this section do you think had the most impact?
The solution to the urban problem of people being under educated and to the sanity of the living quarters was Settlement houses. Settlement houses were set up by college educated women in slum areas in order to give assistance to the people living there. They sent nurses to the sick. They taught people English, health, painting, and offered college extension courses.By 1910 there were over 400 Settlement houses set up in America.
