In the Moravian town of Zlin in the 1930's, shoe manufacturer Thomas Bata created the world's only ever ideal industrial town. The "Czech Shoe-king" took an array of initiatives from other industrialists (Ford, Taylor, Owen) and developed them further: initiatives like offering free time and sport te. influencing living conditions and selection according to socio-psychological points of view.
The tested principle was developed into 37 "Bata Towns" in all continents of the world.The Bata-Principle lived on and continued to work, even after Thomas Bata's death in a tragic aeroplane crash.
