I think the name you are looking for is "tenement".
The name comes from tenancy: the flats in those dwellings were typically rented, not owned.
Tenements bring with them the association of being overcrowded and having sanitary problems.
Tenements were an important aspect of life in New York in the 19th century.<span />
The Renaissance was a cultural movement that was born in Florence, Italy, and aimed at transforming the dogmatic thinking of the time through the ideas of humanism. This means seeing the world in different ways using art, philosophy, science and politics to create a new vision of man and his role in the world. The deep sleep to which Erasmus refers is the backwardness that was lived at the time in the sixteenth century that was due to the obscurantism in which dogmatic and rigid ideas predominated, for which the rebirth was the awakening of society in which knowledge becomes the fundamental pillar and no longer religion. In this way the theocentrism is abandoned and this allowed for example the discovery of new lands that would later be colonized, discoveries are made in astrology and revolutionary ideas arise as those of Copernico and his heliocentric theory.
Upton Sinclair's novel, The Jungle, was written to show the world how cruelly and harshly immigrants in industrialized cities were treated in the early twentieth century. At first, the claims that Sinclair made in his novel were thought to be outlandish and over exaggerated. However, when government officials actually looked into the claims, they found that conditions were even worse than what Sinclair had said. Hope this helps.
