	Planned communities - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Planned communities
		New towns such as Milton Keynes and Stevenage were built after World War II to accommodate the overspill from cities and large towns, notably London, at a time when the population was rapidly expanding and inner-city centres had either decayed or been destroyed.
		In 1976 the policy, which had been criticized for disrupting family groupings and local communities, destroying small shops and specialist industries, and furthering the decay of city centres, was abandoned.
		In order to stimulate employment in depressed areas, 14 original new towns were planned between 1946 and 1950, with populations of 25–60,000, among them Cwmbran (Wales) and Peterlee (Scotland), and eight near London to relieve congestion there.

		Classic planned communities developments such as Columbia, Kentlands near Gaithersburg, Cobbler's Mill near Germantown, and Reston, Va., are still popular neighborhoods, and many new "master-planned communities" are on the drawing boards or are already being built in Maryland.
