Focuses on the power which medical knowledge has had in legitimising the rhetoric that surrounds municipal policy making. This work looks at two 20th-century public health campaigns concerned with infant welfare and the prevention of tuberculosis, which were aimed at improving health but which also served to regulate urban life.
