Event information

2027 is Milton Keynes’ 60th birthday. This talk will explain how and why MK was selected as a new town and what that meant in practice. Looking at other new towns and the aim to set out a new model for housing and town design, it will consider how MK developed compared to other new towns such as Irvine and Peterborough and how it aimed to build the urban society of the future.

Alistair Fair is Reader in Architectural History at Edinburgh College of Art. He is the author of two books about the post-war New Towns.
