Steve Von Worley's most recent data visualization looks at the orientation of city streets. Here is NYC's massive grid.

Each color represents the orientation that the streets run according to cardinal directions. Here: San Francisco.

Roads at right angles to each other have the same color, as seen in this visualization of Washington D.C.

Paris' arrondissements make the city far less gridded than New York City. Except if you look at the cemeteries.

San Francisco is split up into chunks of different-colored grids. This is thanks to its hilly topography and complex urban history.

Chicago is one massive grid that adheres to cardinal directions.

London's streets, like those of many cities in Europe, are a messy tangle of roads that were built up organically over time.

Berlin is built around it central district and the Spree River. You can see a few main arteries running through the city.

Here is Boston with its various squares.

Los Angeles is predominately gridded, running north-south

Tokyo's chaotic layout.
