Secondary source excerpt (1865–1898): Middle-class reformers often promoted "scientific" solutions to urban problems: sanitation engineering, health inspections, and building regulations. They argued that expert knowledge could reduce disease and improve quality of life. While these reforms saved lives, they also expanded the regulatory reach of city governments and sometimes targeted immigrant neighborhoods as uniquely "unsanitary." The politics of expertise shaped debates over who controlled urban space.
Which late nineteenth-century concern most directly motivated the sanitation reforms described?
