What were the hazards of city living during this time?

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, city living was fraught with hazards such as overcrowding, inadequate sanitation, and poor housing conditions, which often led to the rapid spread of diseases like cholera and tuberculosis. Industrial pollution contaminated air and water, contributing to health issues among urban populations. Additionally, limited access to clean water and waste disposal created unsanitary environments, exacerbating public health crises. The lack of safety regulations in factories and transportation also posed significant risks to workers and residents alike.
