A Model Housing Law, originally published in 1914, is a comprehensive guide to the legal aspects of housing reform. Authored by Lawrence Veiller under the auspices of the Russell Sage Foundation, this seminal work provides a detailed framework for creating and implementing effective housing legislation. It addresses a wide range of critical issues, including building codes, sanitation standards, occupancy regulations, and enforcement mechanisms.
Veiller's meticulous approach and practical recommendations made this book an indispensable resource for policymakers, urban planners, and social reformers seeking to improve housing conditions in rapidly growing cities. The text offers insights into the historical context of early 20th-century urban development and the challenges of providing safe and affordable housing for all citizens. This enduring work remains relevant for those interested in the history of housing reform and the ongoing quest for equitable housing policies.
