The Raven #18: Anthropology Anarchism and Africa

Ward's article on Milton…
Ward's article on Milton Keynes reminded me of a conversation I once had about the place with a Town Planner. I said that I found it quite soulless and alienating. He replied that this couldn't possibly be right because he'd seen the plans and they were excellent!
Needless to say, he'd never actually been to Milton Keynes and it appears that Colin Ward hadn't either when he wrote his piece.
(I'm entirely open to the idea that there are nice things about the place and the communities that live there have done their best with what they have though...)
