One thing that many Americans may not realise is that most cities will
look a complete mess from overhead. Cities tend to evolve from towns
which in turn evolve from villages, which will be strategically placed
at river crossings, river junctions, or hills. This does not make for
'nice' layouts, which can be quite annoying for the poor sap trying to
make up a realistic looking city map.
