To show well off Americans what it was like to live in a slum, and encourage people to help.
The rapid urbanization and industrialization during the late 19th century in America most likely contributed to the poor living conditions described by Jacob Riis in his book "How the Other Half Lives." This led to overcrowded tenements, lack of sanitary conditions, and inadequate housing for many immigrant families living in urban areas like New York City.
Oh, dude, Jacob Riis was like this old-school journalist and photographer who exposed the harsh living conditions of immigrants in NYC back in the late 1800s. His work led to social reforms and improvements in urban housing. So yeah, like, we can thank him for helping make our cities a bit more livable today.
Jacob Riis used his photographic and journalistic talents to help the impoverished in New York City. He used his books to show what life was like in the slums and to show the middle and upper classes what bad living conditions were available to the poor people. He tried to have the slums and tenements demolished and replaces with a park. He also tried to improve the condition of New York's water supply.
In the 1890 publication, "How the Other Half Lives: Studies Among the Tenements of New York, Riis describes the terrible conditions of tenement housing and what it's like for the people who live in them.

Jacob Riis was a progressive reformer like the muckrakkers and other people involved in the media of the time. Riis's work focused on the conditions that the poorest and the newly arrived immigrants found themselves in. He believed these people were doomed and that the lifestyle could no keep these people alive. As such he published his images in How the Other Half Lives.
