Crespi d’Adda, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Italy, is a well-preserved example of a 19th-century company town built for textile factory workers. Founded by the Crespi family, it features a planned layout with worker housing, a school, a church, and recreational facilities, all designed to reflect industrial-era social ideals. This intact historical village highlights the intersection of industrial innovation and paternalistic urban planning.
