New Towns
The TCPA was instrumental in shaping the New Towns programme (1946 - 1970) : the most ambitious town building programme ever undertaken in the United Kingdom.
Alongside legislation in Scotland and Northern Ireland, the New Towns Act 1946 led to the delivery of 32 New Towns across the UK. These towns are now home to around 2.8 million people.
The TCPA has been exploring the unique story of the New Towns - celebrating their opportunities and reflecting on their challenges - in order to learn for their future growth and renewal, and to inform the creation of new places.
