Abstract (en)

On architecture and social reform in London in the late 19th c. Studies the first settlement house, Toynbee Hall, commissioned by Samuel Barnett from Elijah Hoole in 1883; surveys the Settlement movement and its protagonists; examines the concept of placing educated men and women in working-class neighborhoods to counter class divisions and tensions; and notes the difficulty of recreating the sense of community from a mythic pre-industrial past.
