minus-square@Taalnazi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish7•edit-22 days agoI dunno, I think it would be perfectly doable with good public transit. Don’t have many big cities, but have mid-sized cities near-ish, and smaller towns near the mid-sized ones. A sort of ‘web’ of cities, if you will.
minus-square@gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglish3•2 days agowhat you’re describing is called “multigrid” system. you have grids of varying size, all overlapping each other. examples: notice the streets make some kind of “grid” on the landscape
