A pity this 1929 idea for a standardised city laid out like a chessboard never came to pass. Everything would have been so similar that we could enjoy the novelty of being utterly lost in an urban Möbius strip.
City plans like that were vogue in the 17th and 18th century Finnish cities.
They are picturesque and beautiful when the housing consists of one or two-storey houses, but they turn ugly and scary as hell when filled up with Corbusieresque glass and concrete monsters.
