2. Milton Keynes, the “Forest City”. From the Landscape Planning to the Advent of the Car, Lessons for the Future Green Infrastructure?

verfasst von : Malaury Forget

Erschienen in: Green Infrastructure

Verlag: Springer International Publishing

Abstract

This chapter presents the case of the British New Town of Milton Keynes. Programmed in 1967, this true urban laboratory is the setting of numerous experiments. From the origins of green infrastructure in landscape planning to city planning, we will explore how its designers contributed to preserving and creating habitat areas for wildlife. The landscaping project implemented is sophisticated and detailed, designed according to a search for efficiency in a long-term perspective. Milton Keynes foreshadows some of the current challenges related to territorial development and green infrastructure.

Fußnoten
1
The creation of each New Town is accompanied by the formation of a Development Corporation. Milton Keynes’ was created in 1967 and dissolved in 1992.
 
2
“Grey” infrastructure involves the construction of elements such as roads or evacuation networks, often limited to a single function.

F.L. Olmsted is known as the “heir” to Andrew Jackson Downing (1815–1852)—himself considered the founding father of garden art in the United States—because of the convergence of their work and the fact that Olmsted, with Calvert Vaux (1824–1895), designed New York’s Central Park, while Downing was suspected of doing so but died early in a boat accident. Downing was greatly influenced by Humphry Repton (1752–1818) who was responsible for the first road segregation.

For the sake of discretion and non-intrusive immersion, particularly near residential areas, the photographs taken show places empty of users. This is not always representative of reality, but precautions were necessary for the proper conduct of the observations.
