The book is made up of a selection of articles about the history of towns and villages in the Milton Keynes area.
Established in 1967, Milton Keynes is England's largest new city and one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the UK. It is also a suburban city, genuinely liked and appreciated by most of its citizens. For many reasons, however, Milton Keynes is misunderstood, and its valuable recent lessons are mostly ignored in debates about national urban policy. This book discusses the popular and intellectual prejudices that have distorted understandings of the new city. A city is nothing without its people, of course, so Mark Clapson looks at who has moved to Milton Keynes, and discusses their experiences of settling in. He also confronts the common myth of the new city's soullessness with an account of community and association that emphasizes the strength of social interaction there.
This is the second volume about the history of the Milton Keynes district before the creation of the new town. Historians John Taylor and Bryan Dunleavy have contributed a collection of articles to present aspects of the history of the communities within the area. The depth and variety of the district's history is remarkable.The book is organised alphabetically by community.
