Not sure I agree with the thesis or not, but it's interesting to think about. It's true that there are lots of very good non-grid cities. I've always thought that the main purpose of grids is to be understandable to the human mind, which maybe isn't that important a goal, and lots of things flow well in a complex way: look at our own circulatory systems.

    Grids can really suck for navigation if your city has waterways- for example places can be about 500m in a straight line but the actual course to it is like 1.5km b/c of limited travel options :kitty-cri:

      There's really not much you can do if your city has waterways. Bridges are expensive.

        Yeah, that's true - I mean most places with canals/etc are pretty nice to look at, which really softens the blow I think.
