After the Timeline that outlines the themes and types of housing solutions surveyed in the exhibition – from crowded tenements to new forms of private-market skyscraper complexes such as Tudor City and London Terrace, the invention of large-scale, low-density public housing, and the postwar examples of slum clearance and “tower in the park” publicly-assisted projects – the next section of the exhibit summarizes the analysis of the densities of the examples and presents icon graphics that allow comparisons.
An additional section of the wall mural zig-zags between photographs of tenements at different scales and illustrations and texts that describe the history of tenement crowding and reform movements.
