Doctors began to study and understand the city. A campaign was held with the notion diseases can be prevented rather than getting cured . Most crowded-more are the diseases and higher the mortality rate. Bad air and bad smell were the causes of diseases. The idea of the renovations is to get rid of the bad smells. The purpose of building sewers is to prevent the diseases.
