Abstract

The paper indicates that between around 1840 to 1870, its problems made London unique. At that time there seemed no solution for meeting these as history could offer no guide to that it had never had to face. The present work is an exploration of how far it would be true to say that the only body capable of then answering such demands was that local administration which came into being during the early years of the XIXth Century consequent upon the on-going crisis that sprang from an urban ecological instability itself born of industrialization and the population explosion.
