When Saturday Comes - The Half Decent Football Magazine - AFC Wimbledon cannot face MK Dons
november 2010 by coldbrain
And it's not the prospect of losing that bothers me. Yes of course I'd hate to lose, but it's more fundamental than that. Milton Keynes stole my club and its League position, losing in the cup or league doesn't matter compared to that. I don't believe the club has a right to exist. I want it to go out of business as soon as possible, I don't want Wimbledon giving Milton Keynes any sort of spurious legitimacy by playing them.

Expansion plans for Milton Keynes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
october 2010 by coldbrain
He proposed that the population of Milton Keynes (ceremonially Buckinghamshire) should double in the subsequent 20 years. He appointed English Partnerships to do so, taking planning controls away from Milton Keynes Borough Council and making EP the statutory planning authority. In turn, EP established a subsidiary Milton Keynes Partnership to manage the programme locally. Their proposal for the next phase of expansion moves away from grid squares to large scale, mixed use, higher density developments which are more based on public transport than private car usage.

Love Milton Keynes? Love Urban Eden
october 2010 by coldbrain
Urban Eden is an organisation dedicated to ensuring that those who know and love Milton Keynes do not sleepwalk through the planned major changes being developed by planners and developers who are seemingly intent on watering down many of the best things about our beautiful city, which we had mistakenly learned to take for granted. We support the realistic expansion of Milton Keynes through growth, and welcome the anticipated improvements to our city and its public realm, but are concerned that the fundamentals of the Master Plan and Original Vision are not lost in the process.

Urban Eden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
september 2010 by coldbrain
Urban Eden is a pressure group based in Milton Keynes, England, formed in 2006. The group's stated aim is to "promote a sustainable expansion to the original masterplan for Milton Keynes"[1]. In recent years the expansion of Milton Keynes has moved away from the original design principals of the city; Urban Eden campaigns against this trend, pressuring for new developments to remain true to the original vision for the new city. As of 2009 the group has over one hundred members, including a number of professional engineers and town planners, as well as some former employees of the Milton Keynes Development Corporation.

Milton Keynes grid road system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
september 2010 by coldbrain
The Milton Keynes grid road system is a network of national speed limit, fully landscaped routes that form the top layer of the street hierarchy for both for private and public transport in Milton Keynes, (ceremonial) Buckinghamshire. The system is unique in the United Kingdom for its innovative use of street hierarchy principles: the grid roads run in between districts rather than through them. This facilitates the higher speed limits due to the absence of buildings close to the roads. High-speed motor traffic is segregated from pedestrian and leisure[1] cycling traffic, which uses the alternative Milton Keynes redway system. All grid junctions are roundabouts, which are efficient at moving cars but disadvantageous to buses and HGVs.

Melvin M. Webber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
september 2010 by coldbrain
He was later involved in the development of public transport, apparently regretting the car-focussed implications of his early work, though his theories are as applicable to transport planning as a car based approach to urbanism. One of the most developed examples of his ideas is the design for Milton Keynes, a new city in the United Kingdom, built on a devolved and radical grid plan from 1967, where the Chief Architect (Derek Walker) described Webber as "the father of the city".[3]
