Format:Paperback
This is destined to become a standard textbook for city planning. It adds the human dimension to the technical aspects of nurturing a sustainable city that will grow for generations.
Mark Clapson illuminates well a city of pioneering families who are determined to build a worthwhile society for their youngsters.

Format:Paperback
MILTON KEYNES HAS BEEN A JOKE IN THE EYES OF THE NATION FOR DECADES, NOT ANYMORE! THE MOST PROFITABLE IN THE COUNTRY OUTSIDE THE CITY OF LONDON, THE TOWN THAT SAVED THE BRITISH FILM INDUSTRY (THE POINT WAS THE FIRST MULTI PLEX CINEMA IN THE UK) ETC ETC.
THIS BOOK IS A SUPERB OVERVIEW OF HOW THE CITY CAME INTO BEING, THE HISTORY, THE MOVERS AND SHAKERS AND THE VISION.
LET'S HOPE THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT IS PLANNED WITH THE SAME VISION
