Product Description

Milton Keynes has recently been designated one of the four potential growth areas in the south-east of England. There are plans to build up to 70,000 new homes in the city before 2031, and also develop transport infrastructure. This will swallow up a huge amount of greenbelt, and change the city dramatically. In his new book Robert Cook examines the history of Milton Keynes so far, and discovers that different districts' separate identities have been maintained despite the coming of the new town thirty years ago. He also explores surrounding towns and villages, such as Bow Brickhill and Woburn Sands, not yet part of Milton Keynes but possibly due to be absorbed during a new wave of housebuilding.
