Summary

New Lanark, Scotland, stands as a pioneering model industrial village that predates and outlasts the tenure of its most famous figure, Robert Owen. Contrary to established historiography, its residential project began before Owen's leadership and continued beyond his time, offering a unique lens for understanding urban development. This study reinterprets New Lanark not merely as a precursor to modern urbanism but as an enduring experiment in collective housing with its own temporal significance. By analyzing institutional documents alongside accounts from residents, workers, volunteers, and visitors—particularly post-1970s—it challenges conventional narratives, emphasizing the village's preservation under a Trust as a safeguarded heritage site. The research underscores New Lanark's relevance as both a historical artifact and an ongoing model of progressive urban planning.
