City Street Layout
I ran across this pic today ( http://rememberdismove.blogspot.com/2017/07/the-shore.html ) and was fascinated.
To me, it looks like the street layout for a city, with the cracks in the "buildings" representing alleyways. Sadly mine never come out as well. Instead, I always fall back to a grid or a wheel-and-spoke layout. I saved the image in hopes that it will inspire me the next time I attempt to layout a city.
I posted it here as I'm sure others will enjoy it as much as I, and see in it what I do.
Happy Mapping!

I can see that as a city plan.
The overall effect is a nice 2D fractal pattern. It's just over a few scales, unlike the computer-generated ones that tend to operate over many scales.
So what is it about making a City that people hate doing anyway? I find them fascinating.
