Abstract

The high degree of control of workers in company towns is reflected in major physical and social features which include a rigid ground plan, architectural uniformity, dominance of the townscape by company institutions, deliberate allocation of social classes to housing of distinct quality types, and strong ethnic and class segregation. Most of these features are the result of company planning policies. Developed in Europe and North America, this model has been transferred to the Atacama desert by United States copper interests.
