The town of Craigavon, located in County Armagh, Ireland, within the United Kingdom, holds a unique place in the realm of urban planning. It is one of the last and most ambitious 'New Towns' designed and built in the United Kingdom during the mid-20th century. Officially designated as a New Town in 1965, Craigavon was conceived as a grand vision to alleviate overcrowding in Belfast, stimulate economic growth, and create a more balanced demographic spread in Northern Ireland. Its layout is distinctive, designed around a central 'Craigavon City' area with surrounding residential suburbs, each with their local amenities, interconnected by a network of roadways and footpaths, a design intended to encourage community cohesion.

Wikipedia Says
Craigavon ( kray-GAV-n; Irish: Creag Abhann) is a town in northern County Armagh, Northern Ireland. Its construction began in 1965 and it was named after the first Prime Minister of Northern Ireland: James Craig, 1st Viscount Craigavon. It was intended to be the heart of a new linear city incorporating Lurgan and Portadown, but this plan was mostly abandoned and later described as having been flawed. Among local people today, "Craigavon" refers to the area between the two towns. It is built beside a pair of artificial lakes and is made up of a large residential area (Brownlow), a second smaller one (Mandeville), plus a central area (Highfield) that includes a substantial shopping centre, a courthouse and the district council headquarters. The area around the lakes is a public park and wildlife haven made up of woodland with walking trails. There is also a watersports centre, golf course and ski slope in the area. In most of Craigavon, motor vehicles are completely separated from pedestrians, and roundabouts are used extensively. It hosted the headquarters of the former Craigavon Borough Council. Craigavon sometimes refers to the much larger Craigavon Urban Area, a name used by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency, which includes Craigavon, Lurgan, Portadown and Aghacommon.
