Can studying the lives of people in towns in the early 1800s help us cope with the challenges of urban life in Canada today?

Yes

Explanation:

History can help solve many of today's problems or help us learn from our mistakes. For example, in Peru and Bolivia several farming methods failed but studying how farmers cultivated agriculture in the 1000 BCE made archeologists realize that their farming method could still be used today and provide crops much better than previous methods. I'm sure there are plenty of things we can learn from our past that could help us in some way that would improve our modern world. It is never too late to learn something!
