WTF is Milton Keynes?

Milton Keynes is officially the weirdest place I have ever been. Is it a town? Is it a mall? Is it named after the poet and the economist? If aliens accidentally wiped out the earth, excepting maybe a few tens of thousands of people, and felt really bad about it, so wanted to build a place for the remaining people to live, as an apology or gesture of remorse, then they'd build Milton Keynes. The aliens of course would have had good intentions, but because they lacked a fundamental understanding of humanity they would have created something that is just alien enough to drive everyone mad in the long run.
