Charles Pearson

Charles Pearson was a 19th-century British lawyer and urban reformer known for pioneering ideas to improve London’s infrastructure. He advocated for the construction of the London Underground (the city's subway system) as a way to reduce congestion and improve transportation within the city. Pearson believed that modern railways and underground lines could help manage London's growing population and traffic challenges. His vision was foundational in the development of the underground network, making travel more efficient and shaping the future of urban transit in London.
