Client: Milton Keynes Development Corporation
Milton Keynes is rightly regarded as the most successful new town in the world. Llewelyn Davies was commissioned by the Milton Keynes Development Corporation in 1967 to prepare the master plan for the new city, having previously successfully planned Washington New Town, the first generation of new towns in the UK.
About the project
The conceptual plan was based on three existing towns and involved the creation of a series of villages, each with local amenities, located within a ‘wavy’ grid road system covering the entire development area. Ease of movement and access were fundamental principles of the master plan, designed to engender maximum flexibility to change and growth.
