11 -Town planning for clock-making
A progressive and entrepreneurial spirit combined with a concern for social justice and public health generated in these twin cities a town planning and architecture that are in perfect adequacy with the evolving needs of clock-makers. Production units, houses and public facilities are closely interweaved, to take into account both the economical requirements and the workers' quality of life. Today, the integrity and authenticity of this conserved town planning is in total symbiosis with the technical, economic, and social demands of an intense clock-making activity.
