Milton Keynes 18693_02
Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. One of the key features of Milton Keynes urban layout is the distinctive grid pattern of its main transport routes. With main routes intersecting approximately every one kilometre, the grid pattern allowed planners to move away from congestion associated with traditional radial town plans. Initially roads were given numbers or letters which signified vertical (north-south) or horizontal (east-west) routes. All have since been named. Photographed in February 2000

1. Title: A Bird's Eye View of Milton Keynes: Grid Pattern and Modern Urban Planning (February 2000) This aerial photograph, taken in February 2000, showcases the unique urban layout of Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. Established in 1967, Milton Keynes was designed as a new town with a modern and innovative approach to urban planning. One of its most distinctive features is the grid pattern of its main transport routes. The image reveals the meticulously planned grid, with main roads intersecting approximately every one kilometre. This design was implemented to move away from the congestion and inefficiencies associated with traditional radial town plans. Initially, roads were given numbers or letters which signified their vertical (north-south) or horizontal (east-west) orientation. However, all have since been named. The grid pattern is evident in this photograph, with the roads forming a neat, organized network. The orderly arrangement of buildings and green spaces adds to the town's distinctive character. The photograph also highlights the abundance of parks and open spaces, another key aspect of Milton Keynes' urban design. This aerial view offers a fascinating glimpse into the town's modern planning history. It showcases the forward-thinking approach of its designers and their commitment to creating an efficient, accessible, and livable community. The grid pattern remains a testament to Milton Keynes' innovative urban planning legacy. © Historic England Archive 2023.
