Reform did come to Whitechapel as a result of the brutal crimes of Jack the Ripper. Many of the sub-standard buildings were torn down or refurbished. Unfortunately, rents also increased, making affordable housing a strain for those with inadequate salaries. It would not be until the turn of the 20th century that London's east end began to look even remotely prosperous.
Streets were cleaner with updated sewage systems, crowding was relieved, running water within rental buildings and houses made it much easier to live cleanly. The Whitechapel area of today is hardly recognizable as the same streets the Ripper used as his hunting grounds.
