Industrial archeologists study towns and landscapes created over
the past several centuries that were planned to integrate home and
work. This ground-breaking book features architectural case studies
of company towns in 48 locations - workers' villages, mill towns,
mining towns, cite ouvrieres, bruk stader, colonias industriales,
villaggi operai - many of which are UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Extensive illustrations and images document the ways in which
architectural experiments responded to the entrepreneurial
initiatives that were the basis of these communities. The authors,
two esteemed professors whose work focuses on the conservation of
industrial heritage, examine the role of architectural and urban
culture in creating the identity of these unique towns, and the
consequences of their abandonment.
