- sieabahlpark 6y agoThese cities were originally part of the colonies of the British empire. So I would say they aren't necessarily completely "American". I'd look more central to western US cities to see how American style city planning is done.
- asveikau 6y agoWhat you have are different eras. Older is usually more chaotic. Look at New York below 14th St., then contrast with above which came later. You can draw another line when car culture became common. Before then, it was grids accessible by streetcars. After, the cul de sac style and similar becomes common.
