I do love this soulless grey city.

It’s awful. I pity anyone who lives here- like me and my family.

It drove me mad coming from Middlesbrough and hearing people talk of this (then towns, now both are cities), as grey, concrete and lacking character. It blew me away you can drive through the entire place without seeing a single house, you can walk the red ways and be metres away from nature. It took 45 minutes if driving living in the North East to see the views I get in MK.

Most views of the city actually hides both the estates and centre in a sea of green.

I was there a few weeks ago, I was stood up near the Pyramid and looking around, it's a beautiful area... There were loads of dogs running all around, which was great to see. I walked over to the Peace Pagoda and that area is also beautiful.

I really like MK.

Just cross the bridge near Xscape and you're in a seemingly endless green space.

I was musing earlier that MK is actually one big park that just pretends to be a city.

As they should. Everyone has the right to appreciate a lovely park.

I'm curious. Why?

Don't even bother responding to that guy he's clearly a low iq racist

People are downvoting you because they think it's a negative statement. My guy is a muslim himself, it's just unfortunate phrasing.

Got distracted and read the HE listing for the park:

Is that landscape natural? The right side looks incredibly artifical.

Campbell Park - grade 2 listed.

https://www.theparkstrust.com/find-a-park/campbell-park/

A quote via Wikipedia:

"Campbell Park, the city park, links central MK to a vast swathe of parkland down to the Ouse Valley, in all the largest and most imaginative park to have been laid out in Britain in the 20th century"

Totally artificially landscaped. I think they took all the soil they scraped off to flatten the shopping centre area and used it for the park. Or something like that.
