429 GB - New Lanark (2001)

Brief Description 
"New Lanark is a small 18th- century village set in a sublime Scottish landscape where the philanthropist and Utopian idealist Robert Owen moulded a model industrial community in the early 19th century. The imposing cotton mill buildings, the spacious and well-designed workers' housing, and the dignified educational institute and school still testify to Owen's humanism."

新拉纳克
"新拉纳克是18世纪坐落在苏格兰风景最优美的地方的一个小村庄。19世纪早期,慈善家、乌托邦理想主义者罗伯特·欧文在此创建了现代工业化社区的模型。令人难忘的棉磨坊、宽敞且装备齐全的工人社区、严谨的教育机构和良好的学校教育,时至今日仍是欧文人文主义的明证。"
