Well, New Town in Edinburgh was laid out on a grid in the 1760s. There are a few exceptions. :)

- lostlogin 11y agoThey probably call that "really new".
- gsnedders 11y agoArchitecturally, I'd say "really new" is since ~1970 (i.e., post-Brutalism), "new" is since ~1918 (i.e., post-WW1). In terms of town planning, I'd probably call anything 20th century "really new", and "new" being anything from the Industrial Revolution onwards. Therefore, I'd claim New Town isn't new, yet alone really new.
