He also examines the impact of immigration on the city, as well as the role of women in the urban workforce.Throughout the book, Davis emphasizes the need for social reform and government intervention to improve the living conditions of the poor. He argues that poverty is not just an individual problem, but a societal one, and that it requires a collective effort to address.Street-Land: Its Little People And Big Problems is a powerful and insightful critique of urban life in the early 20th century.
