    The document outlines the planning and development of a new town in the UK in the 1940s. It was planned under the New Towns Act to decentralize population growth and address post-war housing needs. Sir Frederick Gibberd created the original master plan, which separated traffic from pedestrians and organized neighborhoods around green spaces. The goals were to provide housing for overflow from London and promote employment and community spaces through a planned transition from an agricultural to urban area to support the growing post-war industrial and housing demands.
