Despite all the industrial progress and economic growth in Manchester (and other cities throughout Europe and the U.S.) the working class still suffered. They lived in cramped living quarters in unhealthy neighborhoods. We've discussed New York and Milwaukee in the United States and the video for this week depicts Manchester and observations made by Engels in England. Are there cities today that have conditions like those found in Manchester, New York, and Milwaukee in the 19th and 20th centuries? What are some urban conditions today that are similar to those found in earlier cities, and in what ways do we justify these conditions as acceptable today (e.g., need for labor)?
