  1. A grid considers everything equal, there is not really a center. So it kind of makes an entire district, the center, the downtown. But what people like in characteristics of a city, is to have a central spot for orientation. The Marketplace, the city hall, the church. That's the core of every single city or even village in Europe. Where do the bus lines go to, where do the merchants go to, it's the marketplace, you know where to meet people.
