"Milton Keynes, one of post war Britain's largest and most ambitious state projects
has often been maligned, derided, mocked and dismissed in politics and in popular
culture alike. By integrating the cultural reception of Milton Keynes into wider histories
of British politics and popular culture, this book also provides a wider history of
how the backlash against state planning was achieved through the development of a
mythology of "the bad old days". Despite this, Milton Keynes has functioned as a stubborn
testament to the progressive and radical visions of a post war state, a political
alternative to the present which rejects nostalgic and neoliberal conservatism alike"
