By how cities were laid out, do you mean, how settlements are located across a region, or the way a city itself was organized?

I'm not OP but how the city is organized sounds like the real question.

Are you ok with fantasy cities too? Wasn't sure if you were going realistic or not, but if you want, I can drop those as well.

I'm not an expert on the subject, but Wikipedia has some helpful articles:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_urban_planning
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_planning_in_ancient_Egypt

This site also goes into detail on the subject:

Also, pic related is cheap as balls on Steam, and gives you a fairly good overview of ancient city-planning:

Pic related also delves somewhat into this, and also gives a good overview on the subject of why/how different cultures approached architectural engineering, so it's also worth checking out if you have the time. Also, it hails from that distant, barely remembered time when the History Channel was actually good.

There were quite a few cities in Hellenistic Middle East/Persia that were planned from scratch. The Greeks already had a pretty good idea of urban planning then, and since they were founding new colonies they put some of the ideas into practice. This is typically different from cities that developed naturally though.
