What is the worst city you've ever been to and why?
Submitted by Soup.
Travel around the UK a lot so there are several places vying for pole position on this but as it says 'city' rather than town it narrows the field slightly and I'm going for Milton Keynes. Brits won't need an explanation but for those from further shores the reason is because it is the shining beacon to 60s town planning failure.
Some people in their wisdom thought it was a good idea to follow the US-style of town planning laying out wide boulevards with car parking down the sides of the road and different zones for business, retail and residential.
The result is soulless, dull and impractical particularly is you are trying to get around by foot.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing but the legacy of this failure will be around for many years to come as the process of transforming Milton Keynes into a place that is pleasant, vaguely vibrant and able to cope with 21st century public transport requirements is both costly and time consuming.
Oh and if you go to a gig at the Bowl it takes bloody hours to get home regardless of your chosen method of transport.
