| Summary | "Charities and the Commons: The Pittsburgh Survey, Part I. The People" by Various is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work serves as an in-depth examination of the social and living conditions in Pittsburgh during a significant time of industrial growth, focusing on the city's diverse population. It explores the impact of industrialization on workers and communities, aiming to illuminate the complexities of urban life in America. At the start of the work, the authors introduce the Pittsburgh Survey, describing it as a systematic investigation into the living conditions of a rapidly industrializing community. They set out to document various social factors affecting the city's inhabitants, including demographics, health, labor situations, and community dynamics. The opening lays a foundation for understanding the challenges faced by Pittsburgh's residents, particularly immigrants and laborers, as they navigate the changing landscape of the early 20th century industrial era. The narrative emphasizes a growing awareness of civic responsibility and the need for social reform in response to the difficulties inherent in urban life.
