This is the city of Milton Keynes. A place unlike anywhere else on earth.
A place that others look to for inspiration. A testbed for new ideas and a UK leader in technology and innovation.
Our city was designed to provide an ideal way to live and work, in a city that’s wide open and wondrous.
Today, the world’s largest fleet of autonomous robots deliver our residents’ shopping, we are leading the way on driverless transport technologies, and we are running one of the first urban drone trials. The city operates its own 5G network which is exclusively used for research and development and Smart City trials. We’re the city people come to when they want to turn ideas into reality.
We are the only UK city designed from its very inception with business growth in mind, and are already home to global brands and future innovators. We are one of the UK’s fastest growing cities with ambitious plans for our future growth.
But Milton Keynes was also made to look forward. Our people and businesses are pioneers, with an ethos of continually adapting, improving, and looking to the future.
This is Milton Keynes. Better by design.
