San Francisco is kind of different

its got major downtown areas where yah, theres nothing bust streets like that with skyscrapers everywhere, but then you have places like the sunset or the Mission district which is completely residential

Well European cities were designed during a time when walking was the only mean of transportation for the average person
Glad part of our city design was European inspired

I think it's moreso because Mexicans can't afford cars

So, Canada really is America light.

So what I'm getting from this picture is this:

American cities are designed for cars and people

European cities are designed for maximum blast efficiency by le truck of peace

No need for cars if you don't have an autism attack every time you get near people in public transportation

Any sane person would have a panic attack being within 10 meters of Mexicans

You poor little thing

Numbered grids are easier to navigate.

European cities are designed according to terrain because back in the day adjusting terrain was much harder. american cities are much more recent so they could flatten areas and make straight grids everywhere.

well yes that is the general concensus
what's the point of this thread?

you can lay a grid over relatively steep terrain e.g:

Well, city grids tell you in which era they were build/planed. Cologne is a roman time city which expanded largerly in medival times. The inner core is structured, while the surrounding streets are quite chaotic.
The more recent cites have more space for transportation and industry. Thats what you see on many US cities.
