And woe to those trying to navigate the city of Charlotte.

Each of the cities is represented by a polar histogram. Each bar's direction represents the compass bearings of the streets (in that histogram bin) and its length represents the relative frequency of streets with those bearings.

For example, Manhattan's famous angled, primarily orthogonal street grid:pic.twitter.com/D3HLYbSCL7

Detroit is interesting because it has two separate orthogonal grids, one a slight rotation of the other:pic.twitter.com/w9YAEWbyXV

And then there's Boston. Although it has a grid in some neighborhoods, they tend to not align with each another, resulting in a mish-mash of competing orientations. Plus these grids are not ubiquitous and Boston's other streets wind in many directions.pic.twitter.com/Ftgu0W6N6L

Kevin Lynch defined "legible" cities as those whose patterns lend themselves to coherent, organized, recognizable, and comprehensible images that help us mentally organize city space, find our way, and develop a sense of place.

But what Boston lacks in legible circulation patterns, it makes up for in other Lynchian elements (paths, edges, districts, nodes, landmarks) that help make it a highly imageable city for locals and visitors. From Lynch:pic.twitter.com/FIbn5e3shW

By popular request, here's a quick follow-up comparison of street network orientations in cities around the world: http://geoffboeing.com/2018/07/city-street-orientations-world/ …pic.twitter.com/TCxgxAbTef

A lot of people have asked about the street orientations across New York City vs its individual boroughs. Here's what they look like.pic.twitter.com/guuZi3Pc7W

just curious because i'm extra - how did you determine a street's orientation/direction if it shifts direction over the course of its length?
-
I took the street segment's bearing from one intersection to the next if it curves along the way.
-
and did an average of those directions, or did you count them all as separate streets?
-
Each street segment (ie, the "side" of a city block) is counted as a unit for the histogram.
-
ahhhhhh! of course.
-
Thank you for asking the important questions! Methodology is key!

I was down in Virginia (Charlottesville area) this year and came upon the realization that the reason chain stores are so dominant is because that is all you find in suburbia. Malls, strips malls, commercial corridors.
-
It’s a bit of a shock to the system coming from an urban area with lots of unique shops. I was like, “where is the good tea?” Mom: “Oh, there is a Starbucks by the Harris Teeter.” Me: “That’s it?” Mom: *Sigh* … “Yes."
-
(Granted, downtown CVille has plenty of nice unique shops and restaurants.)
-
It does. Between Twisted Branch and Goodberry's, Charlottesville is actually a terrible example for you.
-
I was thinking more of Route 29 corridor and the surrounding area than CVille itself.
