Not sure I agree with the thesis or not, but it's interesting to think about. It's true that there are lots of very good non-grid cities. I've always thought that the main purpose of grids is to be understandable to the human mind, which maybe isn't that important a goal, and lots of things flow well in a complex way: look at our own circulatory systems.

        I only get that they are the way plant roots are structured, with all the roots branching out to wherever without an obvious stucture, so I guess the opposite of a grid city is a rhizomatic (rhizomatous?) city but I'm thinking about it and maybe it's not that correct.
