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.

    They aren't directly connected as far as I know but Chuck Marohn used to write a new urbanist series in the American Conservative. They mainly try to appeal to conservatives with their fiscal arguments and it resonates with some.

      Yeah and I know the Manhatten insitute has praised some of the "New Urbanism" in Somerville NJ near me which has been done mostly through tax cuts and subsidies to developers. I think something stinks because there does seem to be some right-wing interest in this stuff.
