I think the last time I visited it was in 1975 when an Australian 
architect/town planner friend and his family were living there. The 
architect was working for the Milton Keynes Council. He didn't find it 
awful or depressing - it was tolerably well planned.

He was a bit rude about the "set-square architecture". Apparently there 
was a strip of three and four storey terrace houses that had  flat roof 
line while the ground on which they were built went up and down, and the 
building went from three to four storeys to absorb the variation.

The Open University is based there - not the sort of thing you would 
approved of.
