In a country where winding medieval lanes and irregular street patterns reign supreme, one German metropolis dares to be different. The grid system was adopted here long before it became fashionable in modern urban planning. Right angles define nearly every intersection. Addresses get replaced by a curious alphanumeric code. This urban experiment, born from both ambition and necessity, has shaped a character unlike any other in Germany.
Mannheim - GERMANY
When Britain decided to dream big in the 1960s, new cities were sketched onto maps with the stroke of a planner's pen. Among these ambitious projects, one stood out for its radical vision of what urban living could become. Wide boulevards were carved through Buckinghamshire farmland, concrete rose where cattle once grazed, and a grid system was laid down that would make American cities envious. What emerged was something simultaneously celebrated and scorned, a place that continues to challenge preconceptions about British urbanism.
