Could you tell me where you found the school floor plan image?

@wrathofgnon have you seen anything like this with regards to urban planning? -
It is roughly how mature city plots and streets evolve naturally, if given enough time. A big difference is the lack of topography, natural or cultural (no valleys, streams, big rocks, ancient cult places, swamps, wells, etc.).
-
Yes exactly. Though a bit of an ironic solution...do you have any thoughts on algorithmic or AI (as opposed to organic) city design, like those floor plans, to help us optimize our cities to be more human-scaled?
-
Optimization ought not be the goal, but we can get tolerably close to optimal (99% and above) by simply copying the street layout of an old town with a similar topography. An optimal layout would strangle the town, less room for improvement, initiatives, etc.
