Excerpt from The Improvement of the Dwellings and Surroundings of the People: The Example of Germany The Improvement of the Dwellings and Surroundings of the People. Since the year 1870 there has been a great increase in the population of Germany. Owing to this increase, to the existence in Germany of the same tendency to leave the rural districts for towns which is found in this country and almost all others, and to the rapid development of the German commercial and manufacturing systems, there has been, and is, a very great deal of overcrowding of houses in most German towns, both large and small.

We therefore purpose to give an account of the proposals made by some of the German Governments in decrees, and of those which are embodied in laws, for dealing with the housing question, and further, an account of what has been done by some of the best managed German towns to supply the need for dwellings.
