The term "model village" originated during the Industrial Revolution in England in the mid-19th century. The concept was borne out of the social and economic reform movement led by philanthropists and industrialists who aimed to improve the living conditions and welfare of their workers. The first model village was Saltaire, built by Sir Titus Salt, the owner of a textile mill, along the River Aire near Bradford in West Yorkshire. The village of Saltaire was designed to provide housing, schools, hospitals, and other essential facilities to the mill workers, creating a self-contained community. The idea of a model village gained popularity, and other industrialists adopted similar schemes to improve the living conditions of their workforces. These villages featured similar amenities, such as sewage systems, water supplies, and parks, and were designed with a sense of order and harmony. The model village phenomenon was not just restricted to England, as it spread to other countries such as Wales, Scotland, and Germany. The concept aimed to address several social issues of the time, including overcrowding, poor hygiene, and crime, while also promoting the moral and social welfare of the community. Today, many of these model villages still exist and serve as a reminder of the historical precedent, providing insights into social and economic reform issues that continue to shape urban planning and social policy around the world.
