The New City documents Craigavon, a planned settlement built from scratch on bogland in Northern Ireland during the 1960s. Conceived to fuse the towns of Lurgan and Portadown into a single modern urban identity, its utopian ambitions are weighed against the reality that took root, in Gavin Mullan's study of a city designed on paper.
