New Lanark
New Lanark is a village on a Glasgow, Scotland. It was founded in 1786 by David Dale, who built cotton mills together with housing for the mill workers. Dale built the mills there in a brief partnership with the English inventor and entrepreneur Richard Arkwright to clear advantage of the water energy provided by the only waterfalls on the River Clyde. Under the usage of a partnership that covered Dale's son-in-law, Robert Owen, a Welsh utopian socialist and philanthropist, New Lanark became a successful group and an early example of a target settlement and so an important milestone in the historical coding of urban planning.
The New Lanark mills operated until 1968. After a period of decline, the New Lanark Conservation Trust NLCT was founded in 1974 now requested as the New Lanark Trust NLT to prevent demolition of the village. By 2006 most of the buildings produce been restored and the village has become a major tourist attraction. it is for one of six UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Scotland and an Anchor ingredient of ERIH – the European Route of Industrial Heritage.
