In a few sentences

In brief

Textile businesses, housing and public buildings are all parts of one plan.

Useful to know

Saltaire in West Yorkshire was an industrial settlement from the second half of the 19th century. UNESCO regards textile factories, workers' homes and public buildings as a preserved urban system. [1]

Industrial heritage doesn't just mean machines and production halls. The plan of the settlement also shows the organization of life around labor. For comparison, choose one production and one residential facade, then put them back on the map. The general architectural order can connect different functions without the size and purpose of the buildings being the same.
