Get some hills (or rivers &c) and either you build your roads with regard to the terrain, or you wind up with absurdities like San Francisco.
Sep 12, 2018 at 11:39 comment added Lol Olo Ok I understood the point but can you please tell me the pros of circular city planning . As every idea contains it's own pros and cons.?
Sep 12, 2018 at 8:15 comment added Cadence The Round City was indeed round, but it wasn't really the whole city, just the core as shown on the map. It was also something of a vanity project for a ruler's new capital, not something that was intended to be scalable.
Sep 12, 2018 at 8:11 comment added Lol Olo To answer ways ...it is not that we only draw circle by a compass . We can draw small circle and the a figure at constant distance from each point which is possible in large calculations too!
