Abstract
This paper explores a mental experiment: what if we take an existing city grid and straighten all the roads, and make
all the intersections at right angles allowing the roads to pop out of their Euclidean embedding. We perform some
experiments on simplified common city grid patterns, we make some forays into a physics based computer simulation,
and we show and discuss a sculpture of the author’s home town road network.
