Was george pullmans model town for his workers good or bad idea?

George Pullman's model town for his workers, Pullman, Illinois, was a mixed result. On one hand, it provided workers with well-built housing, amenities, and a sense of community. However, the town's strict regulations and Pullman's control over residents' lives led to dissatisfaction and resentment. Ultimately, the model town idea failed to address workers' needs for autonomy and fair labor practices, contributing to labor unrest and strikes.
