Ah, I see where you're coming from. Someplace like London has a core that was laid out as a grid by the Romans (Londinium) and then that sort of medieval 'hodge podge' that grows out organically. Still very human oriented, if a bit more confusing, and definitely 'interesting'. I lived in Padova, Italy for many years, which has a similar pattern, albeit on a smaller scale. It's pretty nice, although a grid is still probably more convenient for a lot of day to day life things.
