Milton Keynes Broadband Story

Milton Keynes – Planned and Modern •  Birth of MK (1967)

•  The Blue print – Grids, Roundabouts and Open Space (1970s, 80s, 90s)

•  Modern Telecommunication Infrastructure (1970s)

•  More Growth – 1750 homes per year and 1.5 jobs created per home (2000s - today)

“…telecommunications meant that the old idea of a city as a concentric cluster was out of date and

that cities which enabled people to travel around them readily would be the thing of the future achieving "community without propinquity" for residents…”

Melvin M Webber US Architect commenting on Milton Keynes
