The Archive Hour: New Town Voices

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Made famous by concrete cows, experimental architecture and a proliferation of roundabouts,
Milton Keynes is often the butt of jokes. But a unique archive that charts the rise of the last New Town built tells a different story. Jonathan Glancey - architectural correspondent for The Guardian - looks back at its history through the voices of its residents and assesses the town's impact on planning, architecture and the British psyche. Producer Jonathan Fildes
