    In the Victorian era, due to rapid population growth and


    industrialization, many people lived in an area of London
    known as the slums, where housing was cheap. (Diniejko,
    n.d.).
    The slums became known for being overcrowded, unsanitary,
    and having poor living conditions (Diniejko, n.d.).
    London Slums (Cont’d)

    Wealthy Victorians believed that the slums were “the outcome


    of laziness, sin, and vice of the lower classes” (Diniejko, n.d.).
    However, some socially conscious writers, investigators,
    reformers, and preachers argued that the growth of slums
    was caused by poverty, unemployment, and social exclusion
    (Diniejko, n.d.).
