    Milton Keynes was designed and built in the 1960s and 1970s as a new city, but it lacked a coherent urban design and sense of place. The city is criticized for being an endless sprawl of roads and roundabouts with no identifiable center. The author argues that Milton Keynes failed to consider the importance of urban design and creating public spaces for people to naturally congregate. As a result, the city feels soulless and car-dependent without a heart.
