MenuMilton Keynes, Buckinghamshire
Milton Keynes is a city and new town in Buckinghamshire. The order to build the new town was made in 1967, the Milton Keynes Development Corporation being established to design and deliver it. The Corporation decided on a more human-scaled landscape than in the earlier English new towns but with an emphatically modernist architecture. The new town's area incorporated the existing towns of Bletchley, Fenny Stratford, Wolverton and Stony Stratford, along with another 15 villages and the farmland in between. The name was taken from one of the villages included within the new town. Milton Keynes has a unique grid road structure surrounding around 100 individual neighbourhoods. It was made a city in 2022. The city is within the council area of Milton Keynes.
