Variations on the Hippodamian Grid
The Hippodamian grid is a historic relic both physically (in our cities) and conceptually (in our planning).
Raher than forcing an anachronism to solve contemporary planning issues, let's pull lessons from all past patterns and synthesize them to suit modern conditions.
Two examples stand out as good genetic material for a new species: the Savannah cellular plan and Ladd's addition, allso a celllular plan. Through a recombination we arrive at the Fused Grid that has all the desirable features of each and none of their deleterious characteristics.
