      @@urban-britain I have been vlogging for around a year now, and started off with no subs at all and ended up with an amazing community, I can tell you will go along way with UA-cam.
      You break your videos up in small manageable bite sizes which always keeps people watching along with good commentary as I mentioned b4. I will give you a shout out on an upcoming video if you like on my channel, again stay positive and I’m sure UA-cam will keep you happy and busy, all the best.

    I am an old man now, but in my day Milton Keynes was famous for its concrete cows. I am catching up with a few of your videos - seen the Sheffield one (I live close by) and the Blackpool one.

    Most American cities are new, with new urban planning designed around the use of the car. Austin, for example, was founded in 1836, but 90% of it was built after World War II. You must own a car in virtually all American cities. London (UK), however, is full of history, going back to Roman times. Go to Bath: there are the Roman bath houses. If you travel abroad, Rome and Pompeii are fascinating destinations. Visit the Pantheon, which has stood in Rome for 2000 years. If you visit Scotland, look at Hadrian's Wall, then Edinburgh and St. Andrews. These destinations could result in many terrific future videos !

    Another thing I would like to see with Milton Keynes is they only build detached homes. In my opinion, the UK is a nice country but let down by far too much terraced housing.

      It’s not a bad idea. I would like to see two or three more new cities in the UK built on the MK model. It will add to diversity of the landscape and also help to take some load off some other cities if we have some people move away to these new cities.

    • @JamezGamez1

      The issue is, though, that Britain isn’t as well established for an entirely motor-dependent city; many major UK cities, instead of embracing cars, have done all they can to penalise motorists and embrace public transport. A city solely meant for cars isn’t really economically viable in Europe.

      @@JamezGamez1 Not sure about this. I think it’s tradition. UK tends to be a really tradition oriented nation (which is normally good but can sometimes have setbacks). Look how much hostility there was to skyscrapers in London when they were first built. Everyone said Skyscrapers are not a British thing. Today, those skyscrapers have added much to the London landscape and skyline. They are also going up quickly in places like Manchester up North because they don’t want to be left behind. I would personally likely to see them go significantly higher. As for MK, more people will move to the city as it becomes more established. I think a few more cities on the MK model will be good. I don’t want too many as it will lose the novelty, but a few will be good.
