The Zlin Companion

A whole city built brick by brick around a single shoe company, functionalist architecture at every turn, and a genuine home to Czech animation --- Moravia's most unusual company town, with room to make it yours. The Zlin Companion's signature chapter takes on a question most visitors never think to ask: The Shoe Empire That Built an Entire City. Zlín isn't a city that grew a factory --- it's a factory that grew a city, planned block by block around a single shoe company.
