Milton Keynes..... The Concrete City

My chosen place is my home town of Milton Keynes, this is like no other town in Britain and has a very unique identity. It is a very modern place, man made area. It is has been known as The Concrete City to the extent that even the cows are made of concrete. These cows are famously known as a part of Milton Keynes and have even made it to the News when vandalised.


Keeping with the theme of the man made city the image below shows the structure of the road grid system which consists of vertical and horizontal roads connected by many roundabouts. This is a very efficient road method and unlike most major cities with the complex one way systems. Most Cities follow the structure of an inner and outer edge but MK has many small communities within the grids.


The Point got it name for obvious reasons and before Milton Keynes had started developing into how we know it today, this was one of the major structures in the city. Since then larger builds with more design to them have been built. The Point showed the beginnings of the modern direction but has now been left behind somewhat in the ever expanding and developing new city of Milton Keynes.
