In 2002, the Transport, Local Government and the Regions Committee published a report on New Towns: their Problems and Future.
Their analysis was compelling and their recommendations soundly based. In particular, they identified the need for further work to be done to identify the special needs of the post-war New Towns and to learn the lessons of these huge planning experiments for the future.
The Government's response to those recommendations has been partial, half-hearted and inadequate. In this short report we explain why the recommendations of our predecessors remain relevant, and why they should be acted on.
