WEBplain urban layouts. They discuss the ways cities should be designed. Often, they help guide precedence-based urban design and city planning by providing a frame-work of reference based on metric geometry to compare one city to another focus-ing on individual urban elements, such as urban plazas, squares, or spaces.

WEBEncode geometric features of a geo-referenced dataset of Manhattan urban layouts using the AETree neural network. Learn and extract features that faithfully represent urban layout geometries using the encoding. Develop three proof-of-concept urban planning applications using these features.
What circumstances could lead to city layout based on hexagons?
WEBNov 10, 2020 · Historic cities are more organic on a macroscopic level, but buildings are still generally square-shaped leading to grid-based layouts on the micro-level. But I recently learned that squares are boring and Hexagons are the Bestagons due to their many interesting tiling properties.

WEBThe spatial structure of Tenochtitlán was determined by the generally orthogonal courses of canals and causeways. Once the city had developed an orthogonal layout around these linear features, the city’s plan could have been given a cosmological interpretation by its rulers, priests, and planners.
