Keynes</a> in <a href="/wiki/Great_Britain" title="Great Britain">Great Britain</a>. It was conceived as a <a href="/wiki/Linear_settlement" title="Linear settlement">linear city</a> that would link the towns of <a href="/wiki/Lurgan" title="Lurgan">Lurgan</a> and <a href="/wiki/Portadown" title="Portadown">Portadown</a> to create a single urban area and identity.<sup id="cite_ref-50years_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-50years-10"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> The argument for a new town was based on projections indicating population increases over the following decades that would require large-scale house building. Similar projects successfully attracting economic growth had been successfully completed in Great Britain, so it was in some ways a symbol of Northern Ireland as both modern and a part of the British mainstream. The Craigavon Development Commission was appointed in October 1965 to develop the 'new city'. About 6,000 acres of land between Lurgan and Portadown was vested from farmers at £6 an acre.<sup id="cite_ref-beltel_8-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-beltel-8"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Several reasons have been suggested for the suitability of the site including the existing population centres, industrial base, nearness to <a href="/wiki/Belfast" title="Belfast">Belfast</a> and the belief that Craigavon would help spread development away from Belfast. It was hoped that residents of Belfast would be attracted by the suburban nature of Craigavon's design and that business would see it as an interesting alternative. Cash incentives were offered to some families moving to Craigavon.<sup id="cite_ref-BBC_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BBC-7"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> The <a href="/wiki/M1_motorway_(Northern_Ireland)" title="M1 motorway (Northern Ireland)">M1 motorway</a> was built to link the new city with Belfast and there were plans to replace the <a href="/wiki/Lurgan_railway_station" title="Lurgan railway station">Lurgan</a> and <a href="/wiki/Portadown_railway_station" title="Portadown railway station">Portadown</a> railway stations with a single high speed terminal in central Craigavon.

Electricity and other cables were placed underground and street lighting was standard throughout. The planners clustered the housing developments around small 'village centres' with associated retail space, leisure facilities, post offices, primary schools, pharmacies, community centres and other civic amenities. All estates were built with security in mind, with one vehicle entry/exit point. <a href="/wiki/Single-use_zoning" class="mw-redirect" title="Single-use zoning">Single-use zoning</a> was part of the design; there was a total separation of industrial land-use from all other uses.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>Craigavon was designed to be a very child-friendly environment with small playgrounds dotted throughout the residential areas. There was an emphasis on providing green space in the housing estates and safe paths to cycle on. <a href="/wiki/National_Cycle_Route_9" title="National Cycle Route 9">National Cycle Route 9</a> passes through the town.

This was compounded by the outbreak of '<a href="/wiki/The_Troubles" title="The Troubles">the Troubles</a>' in the late 1960s, which resulted in sectarian violence and segregation. Investment into Northern Ireland dried up and emigration rose. The Craigavon Development Commission was wound up in 1973 and <a href="/wiki/Craigavon_Borough_Council" title="Craigavon Borough Council">Craigavon Borough Council</a> created. The area's main employer, <a href="/wiki/Goodyear_Tire_and_Rubber_Company" title="Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company">Goodyear</a>, had a large fan-belt factory in the Silverwood industrial estate, and at the time it was Europe's largest factory.

Dr Stephen McKay, director of education at the School of Planning, Architecture &amp; Civil Engineering at Queen's University Belfast, said that the plan to build Craigavon was "flawed from the outset", adding: "The cycle ways, mixed housing and recreational zones were really never going to work in light of the circumstances".<sup id="cite_ref-BBC_7-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BBC-7"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Locally-born writer <a href="/wiki/Newton_Emerson" title="Newton Emerson">Newton Emerson</a> said: "As a child, I didn't notice the failure of Craigavon.

The name 'Craigavon' is today used by locals to refer to the area between Lurgan and Portadown, and many citizens of those towns resent being identified with the 'new city' of Craigavon. The intention to integrate the new city also largely failed, with those who were encouraged to move from other parts of Northern Ireland generally choosing where to live based on proximity to each respective town, i.e., Catholics/nationalists moved to estates close to Lurgan, whereas Protestants/unionists gravitated towards the Portadown area.<sup id="cite_ref-beltel_8-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-beltel-8"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> A certain degree of integration that existed when Craigavon was first built in the 1960s crumbled in the 1970s against a backdrop of escalating violence; in one week in 1972, as a result of Loyalist intimidation, fifty families fled the Killicomaine estate: half the Catholic population in the area. By the end of the year, another twenty had gone.
