COMUNIDAD utopian NEW HARMONY

Robert Owen
Posey County. Indiana, USA. 1825


New Harmony was an experimental urban approach to the development of a new form of organization of human life in common. With the precedent of the community New Lanark in Scotland, Owen would implement their utopian social ideas in this implementation that remains to this day but in a different way to the originally intended. These proposals would be a reference for the further development of socialism.
In this case, the new city would be developed as a huge building that would house premises, leisure and work for its occupants. His promoter and a modern look to foster cooperation and increase artisanal loyalty and solidarity among members of the community.
