About this app
One square kilometre each from OpenStreetMap at the same scale: Rome, Venice, Stone Town, Barcelona, Manhattan, Paris, Stuttgart and Reutlingen. Figure-ground, streets or both, metrics such as built-up area and block size, plus the street rosette with orientation order after Boeing: grids show a cross, grown cities a circle.
