The large-scale planned city for manufacturing in America in 1823 was Lowell, Massachusetts. Established as a textile manufacturing hub, Lowell was designed to attract workers, particularly young women, to labor in its mills. The city featured a grid layout, canals for water power, and a system of boarding houses, making it a pioneering model for industrial urban planning. It played a significant role in the early Industrial Revolution in the United States.
