Name of structures of streets in cities, which are not necessarily a grid

Berkeley, Thursday, May 14, 2026

As a group we did not got right this one. Although, by intuition I wanted to choose the arabic name, which was the correct answer.

But it is a topic I did not know that much, and still do not know even the name.

So a partial answer is in the image below.

No every city has a quadricular, centurion, grid like, which is the most common for blocks.

A unique case of the roads’ order is in arab cities in the south of Spain. Those roads and, I believe, the grid system has name, which probably is in reference [1]?

I am a bit curious how it is in Granada, which is in the image below. I should contact my friend C., who is from there to ask about it.

There you go. Topic, connecting person.
