iminary visit to the 1967 new town of Milton Keynes in November ahead of plans to write about planning of this new city for my extended essay module.Milton Keynes is almost alone in the UK for following a 'grid road' system which informs the layout of the city. The city was designed at a time when the car was seen as the future answer to transport needs, and segregated paths for pedestrians and cyclists 
exist away from the roads. As well as the futuristic road layout the city also incorporated many radical new architectural designs into it's buildings, including the city's original shopping centre which is still flourishing today. Incorporated within this is a large indoor public space which was currently housing Christmas amusements.
