New Lanark
In August 2009, plans were unveiled to create a new town, which would be a modern interpretation of New Lanark, housing 6,000 residents and creating several thousand new jobs. The Hometown Foundation, the Scottish-based charity behind the project, said the town would be a realisation of the principles of Owen, who had structured New Lanark under improved living and working conditions as part of a model industrial town, and due to being ahead of his time was never able to achieve his ambitions.
