A planned town, also known as a planned city, planned community and new town, is carefully planned settlement. A planned town is a way of relocating a population around newly created hospitals, parks, shops and factories. A planned town is usually built on unused land. Planned towns are generally square. The streets of a planned town are usually straight and regularly spaced. A planned town is often laid out in a grid-like pattern. Planned towns may sound like a contemporary idea yet they are hardly new. The first planned towns were built in the Middle Ages. And while they didn't always have straight streets, much thought was given to their construction.
