The grid system was obviously the layout of choice for all American cities from about 1930-WWII., after which suburban development became the norm.
I think most of us can agree that the grid system is much more effective, practical and smart than the winding, sprawly, cheesily-named suburban streets. I also think most of us agree that the amount of the latter is occuring at a disturbingly high rate...but are there any areas that have no abandoned the grid system? In other words, is there any city or town in the US that is actually developing a grid system or plans to? Or are we doomed to forever grow through impractical suburban developments?> |
