4. Organization of a big City
Now after looking at Google maps of London, New York City, Detroit, Phoenix Arizona, and Davison what things are different and what things are similar?
Things that have changed over time: cities begin to use grid lines to organize
Example City Blocks
In Davison look at M-15 and how the city & township are spaced out in a grid format.
The newer cities had the ability to make more roads parallel and perpendicular. This makes navigation easier and the city will be more organized.
