<blockquote>
<p>everyone knows that cities can have grids.</p>
<p>but show a grid city and everyone will guess it's a North American city.</p>
<p>most cities in the world grew organically so grids aren't a big thing everywhere else.
you might find a few grids here and there, but that's it.
going all out on grids is a North America special.</p>
