I Have Thought For A Long Time That Circular Planned Cities Would Be Great….
They could be very walkable with a plaza in the center for local events, a business district around that area for small restaurants, shops and places to stroll around. City offices, medical offices, schools, etc in the next ring. Residential areas for a few rings, and then industrial workplaces and agriculture areas on the outer edges. It wouldn’t be far to walk to the business district or plaza in such an arrangement and less need for automobiles. Then I found this photo of one city build long ago in a circle shape.

@JohnnySpot I’m looking that one up on Google Earth, thanks for telling me. Circular cities would need to be built larger than the one I posted today, more people for one thing and more room for facilities of all kinds.
@JohnnySpot Planning these cities would require finding a large enough tract of land on a fairly level area which would probably be a problem in many areas today but it’s a great idea I think that would make for a livable area. I would include small grocery stalls on the residential streets so that people could buy basics without having to go to a regular grocery store. They have those on just about every block in Morocco’s cities and the people don’t have to drive or walk far to pick up something to cook with that they might need.
@JohnnySpot I imagine in Arizona it would be. Had a flight that stopped in Phoenix to pick up More passengers last vacation and my mouth was parched by the time we took off
