The New Towns Programme of 1946 to 1970 was one of the most substantial periods of urban development in Britain. The New Towns have often been described as a social experiment; so what has this experiment proved? This book covers the story of how these towns came to be built, how they aged, and the challenges and opportunities they now face as they begin phases of renewal. The new approaches in design throughout their past development reflect changes in society throughout the latter half of the twentieth century. These changes are now at the heart of the challenge of sustainable development. The New Towns provide lessons for social, economic and environmental sustainability. These lessons are of great relevance for the regeneration of twentieth century urbanism and the creation of new urban developments today.

"... excellently written in a very readable style ... It gives the local history beginner a good grounding ... and gives the experienced local historian an insight into new thinking and new evidence." Open History Cheshire has had dramatic discoveries, such as the bog bodies of Lindow Moss or the Roman camps and forts, which have enabled archaeology to rewrite much of Cheshire's earlier story.
