Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gridiron patterned cities are typical of Canadian and U.S. Western cities. This is because these cities were often planned and developed during the 19th century and the gridiron pattern allowed for easier navigation, land division, and growth. New England and colonial cities of the Southeast, for example, developed before the gridiron pattern became popular and therefore have different patterns. Maritime Canada also has different patterns due to its history and geography.
