ميلتون كينز (Milton Keynes ؛ // )، وتُعهد للمحليين بالاختصار MK، هي بلدة كبيرة في بكنگهامشاير، إنگلترة. وهي المركز الاداري لـمركز ميلتون كينز وأُعلنت رسمياً بلدة جديدة في 23 يناير 1967، with the design brief لتصبح "مدينة" مصغرة. وتقع على بعد 45 ميلs (72 kم) شمال غرب لندن.
At designation, its 89 kم2 (34 ميل2) area incorporated the existing towns of Bletchley, Wolverton, and Stony Stratford, along with another fifteen villages and farmland in between. It took its name from the existing village of Milton Keynes, a few miles east of the planned centre.
At the 2011 census, the population of the Milton Keynes urban area, including the adjacent Newport Pagnell and Woburn Sands, was 229,941, and that of the wider borough, which has been a unitary authority independent of Buckinghamshire County Council since 1997, was 248,800, compared with a population of around 53,000 for the same area in 1961.
التاريخ
مولد "مدينة جديدة"
In the 1960s, the British government decided that a further generation of new towns in the south-east of England was needed to relieve housing congestion in London.
Since the 1950s, overspill housing for several London boroughs had been constructed in Bletchley. Further studies in the 1960s identified north Buckinghamshire as a possible site for a large new town, a new city, encompassing the existing towns of Bletchley, Stony Stratford and Wolverton. The New Town (informally and in planning documents, "New City") was to be the biggest yet, with a target population of 250,000, in a "designated area" of 21,850 أكرs (34.1 ميل2; 88.4 kم2). The name "Milton Keynes" was taken from the existing village of Milton Keynes on the site.
The site was deliberately located equidistant from London, Birmingham, Leicester, Oxford and Cambridge with the intention that it would be self-sustaining and eventually become a major regional centre in its own right. Planning control was taken from elected local authorities and delegated to the Milton Keynes Development Corporation (MKDC).
