Grids are certainly better than what I was more referring to, and what is discussed in the article, which is the modernist suburban tree-like structure. London is not on one fixed grid, but there are certainly grid-like things in many areas, for the simple reasons that * above 4 ways at an intersection tends to be really poor throughput * people like right or almost right angles for building construction, and that tends to be reflected in lot lines; acute angles are quite bad
