  1. Grid Plan. By: Yohany Socas # 1110980 Alba Mora # 1110645.

  2. Grid plan. Grid plan. Plan in which streets run at right angles. Ancient Greece Hippodamian plan.

  3. Grid plan. Ancient Grid Plan • Mohenjo-daro and Harappa, 2600 BC,.

  4. Grid plan. • Egypt. • Babylon, King Hammurabi. Thestreetswerewide and straigth Intersected at rightangles

  5. Grid plan. • Miletus, 479 B.C. • Roman. • Teotihuacan.

  6. Grid plan. Asia from the first millennium AD Japan and Korean grid planning. For reasons of defense, the planners of Tokyo eschewed the grid plan.

  7. Grid plan. Europe and its colonies. • Bastides of Southern France. 13th and 14th • Renaissance. • The baroque capital city of Malta, Valletta. Rigidgrid plan

  8. Grid plan. Early United States • The New Haven Colony. • Philadelphia. • New York.

  9. Grid plan. Late 19th century to present • IldefonsCerdà defined a concept of urban planning, based on the grid, that he applied to the Barcelona Eixample. Design elements: a) a very large block measuring 113m by 113m. b) square blocks with truncated corners. c) Major roads perpendicular and diagonal measuring 50 m in width.

  10. Grid plan. Benefits and criticisms • Financial cost: - is generally higher than for patterns with discontinuous streets • maximizes the use of the land • - affect street frequency

  11. Grid plan. • Pedestrian and bicyclemovement. Frequent intersections and orthogonal geometry. The grid plan form a network of streets more understandable to visitors city. is more difficult for people with physical limitations, children and seniors. Frequency of intersections disadvantage For bicycles this disadvantage is accentuated as their normal speed is at least double that of pedestrians. Intersections are not only unpleasant but also dangerous.

  12. Grid plan. A 2009 study suggests that land use patterns play a significant role in traffic safety and should be considered in conjunction with the network pattern. • Safety Thefour-wayintersections Increase total accidentssignificantly The grid plan can cause steep inclines since the topology of the land is not taken into account.

  13. Grid plan. • Reconstruction and development Theirlack of specialization Grid plans are found in linear settlements Latin America, still successfully retain their grid plans. reintroducing grid patterns to many cities and towns. UnitedStates and Canada
