"City planning was in its infancy and much of the new workers' housing was erected with little regard to quality. The provision of clean water, sewerage and waste removal was left largely in the hands of private companies and was woefully inadequate to the population's needs. Hardly surprisingly, Manchester was hit badly by the cholera epidemic of 1831-32. Many homes remained without clean piped water and flushing toilets until the end of the century. The death rate was high, particularly amongst infants and children, and the city was only able to maintain its growth through the continuous influx of new migrants."

Do some research on Cholera. In your doc, tell me:
1. What causes cholera?
2. How many people died between 1831-1832 in Manchester from
cholera?
3. How does proper urban planning prevent cholera?
