PROJECT FIVE - RENAISSANCE CMK

newcity2.jpg

Within the city centre, there are parcels of vacant land and some underused buildings that could be developed (or redeveloped) to help to create the vitality and excitement that could be expected of a growing city.  The Renaissance:CMK project recognised the need to create an even stronger and more successful city centre that is fit for the challenges of the mid-21st century. Through investment in new employment, residential, retail and leisure opportunities, drawing on the benefits that could be created by a new city centre university, and (re)developing vacant or underused buildings and land, Renaissance:CMK would help to create a prosperous city centre and capitalise on our position on the Cambridge-MK-Oxford corridor.
 
To take these ideas forward, a CMK prospectus was launched in January 2019 which outlined the key features of future development required to reflect the needs of Central Milton Keynes. 

CENTRAL MILTON KEYNES GROWTH OPPORTUNITY STUDY AND THE MK CITY PLAN 2050

The work of the Renaissance CMK project is now being taken forward through the development of the new local plan for Milton Keynes, the City Plan 2050.

To inform the development of the City Plan, the City Council is developing a CMK Growth Opportunity Study which will set out a framework of how and where development should happen in the coming decades to 2050, in order to deliver the ambitions laid out in the Strategy for 2050.

This Growth Opportunity Study will be published alongside the City Plan 2050 'Regulation 18' consultation later in 2024.
