Shape Our City Centre
Milton Keynes City Centre is evolving. By 2050, the city is predicted to have a population of around 410,000 people, many of them living in the city centre, and with many more people beyond that using it as their place of work, or as their first choice for shopping, leisure or a whole range of other activities.
Plans in place for the East West Rail line, discussions taking place regarding a University campus opening in the City Centre and the potential for a Universal Studios site in nearby Bedford mean the city will be accessible to even more people.
Our role is to collaborate with stakeholders to ensure the City Centre remains a vibrant, sustainable and competitive business destination, attracting visitors and inward investment.
Accessibility and Inclusion
On Purple Tuesday in Milton Keynes City Centre, we united local charities and organisations dedicated to improving accessibility and enhancing the customer experience for all. It doesn't stop there - we want Milton Keynes to be a welcoming, accessible and inclusive place for everyone.
Supporting Tourism and Visitor Economy
We love Milton Keynes and its uniqueness from other cities in the UK. It’s leisure and shopping offer is unrivalled in the region, it’s the test-bed for emerging technology and it is a top destination for business tourism. We are working with partners to support the development and delivery of a Milton Keynes Visitor Economy Strategy to encourage more people to choose to visit Milton Keynes.

We are helping roll out the MK Ready to Respond programme, working with partner organisations including citizenAID, Thames Valley Police and Milton Keynes Council to provide access to information, training and tools that your business can benefit from.
