Such "sustainable" developments [to include local workplaces and other

Or New Towns before?

I understand MK has probably got enough jobs to be self sufficient. In
the real world, though, there is a significant commuting flow both in and

They tried that approach with Basildon, and failed. Had to give in and
build a station for commuters to London.

Funny that, that's exactly what happened at MK
