TL;DW: In this video, Umut explains the 8 major street patterns used in cities across the globe. From the description, the 8 types are:
-
Organic Pattern: The charming chaos, like in Venice, where streets were shaped naturally over time.
-
Grid Pattern: The perfect order, like in Manhattan, that makes finding an address child's play.
-
Radial Pattern: The star-shaped design, like in Moscow, where all roads lead to the center.
-
Irregular Pattern: The rugged and unique structure, like in San Francisco, where geography dictates the rules.
-
Loose Grid: The balanced approach, like in Buenos Aires, that combines order with flexibility.
-
Suburban Pattern: The sprawling settlements, like in Auckland, where life is designed entirely around the automobile.
-
Superblock: Barcelona's idea of taking streets back from cars and giving them to people.
-
Linear City: A futuristic vision, like "The Line," built on a single 170 km line.
