Explore Secret Stories RGS Soulless Suburb or Urban Utopia? Milton Keynes Tour, a self-guided interactive walking tour to enjoy whenever you want. A short walk in Britain\'s largest new town. This tour forms part of the Discovering Britain series created by the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) to delve deeper into Britain\'s landscapes. After World War II Britain was desperately short of housing. Besides the ravages of bomb damage, there were issues with poor housing stock and overcrowding in cities. So from 1946 onwards came the new towns, a series of brand-new settlements built to provide much-needed new homes. They were also a social experiment. Idealistic architects and planners had the chance to imagine a new way people could live together. Milton Keynes was one of the last and is by far the largest. Now that Milton Keynes has turned 50, this circular walk explores what it achieved. And what are the challenges for the future?  Total length: 2.5 miles; Suggested age range: 7+ Purchase this Tour (and more) in the Secret Stories App, available for free download from Android Play and Apple App store.
