Urban street networks take many forms, from the circular streets in Black Rock City (which is built and removed every year as part of the Burning Man Festival) to the streets and avenues in the Manhattan grid. This paper compares the traits of cities with different street networks using the tools of urban economics. When both cities have commuting arteries of the same length, cities with circular streets have higher population densities unless access to these arteries is expensive and the number of arteries is large. Cities with arteries set at a 45o angle to the grid have smaller population densities under all circumstances.
城市街道网络有多种形式，从黑岩城（每年作为火人节的一部分建造和拆除）的环形街道到曼哈顿网格的街道和大道。本文使用城市经济学的工具比较了具有不同街道网络的城市的特征。当两个城市都有相同长度的通勤动脉时，环形街道的城市人口密度更高，除非进入这些动脉的成本很高且动脉数量很多。在所有情况下，与网格成 45 度角设置的动脉的城市人口密度都较小。
