New Lanark is a village in Scotland that was founded in 1785 by David Dale, a Scottish entrepreneur, and later developed by Robert Owen, a Welsh social reformer.

Today, New Lanark is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from around the world who are interested in history, architecture, and social reform. The village has also been influenced by the ideas of Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and Friedrich Engels, and has been compared to other utopian communities such as the Shakers and the Fourierists.
