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.

Evening pattie.Believe it or not,I thought earlier today to ask if you had watched any of John Levis vids on youtube.To me,he speaks much sense about such matters.
@pedrohedgerow I don’t think I have, I need to check it out. It seems circular cities would be the most efficient way to travel without a car, you live in the middle of the circle and wouldn’t have far to go to get to the other circles. Some of these housing additions have you driving a road for almost a mile just to exit them and get into a business area and then you might have to drive a mile or more just to go to a grocery store.
