The 19th-century housing problem fueled Swiss urban surveys using statistical methods and scientific hygiene, like air volume standards, to define "sanitary living" and enforce bourgeois norms.

Area of Science:

  • Social History
  • Urban Studies
  • History of Science

Context:

  • The housing problem was central to the 19th-century "social issue" (Soziale Frage).
  • Swiss cities conducted extensive surveys of living conditions in the late 19th century.
  • These surveys utilized statistical methods and scientific hygiene principles.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the methodology and underlying values of 19th-century Swiss urban housing surveys.
  • To examine how "sanitary living" was constructed as a bourgeois reality.
  • To understand the role of sanitary officials and public health mandates in social control.

Summary:

  • Surveys quantified living conditions using scientific hygiene metrics, such as "Luftkubus" (air volume).
  • These metrics defined "sanitary living" based on objective, quantifiable data.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Sanitary officials enforced these standards, using legal means to combat "unsanitary living".

    • Impact:

    • The study reveals "sanitary living" as a scientifically constructed bourgeois ideal.
    • Public health mandates aimed to integrate workers into the Swiss state and bolster national industrial power.
    • The findings highlight the intersection of social control, public health, and bourgeois ideology in 19th-century urban development.
