Planned cities seen from space
Fascinating seeing these images from such diverse parts of the world over at Wired. Would be great to compare to more organically developed cities. It also reminds me of a book I once had where all the great public spaces were drawn at the same scale in a figure ground style diagram. Must remember which book it’s in. The example of Washington DC shown below was my favourite, although I was surprised Barcelona’s Cerda grid didn’t make an appearance.
