 PLANNING OF BEDOK
• Gridiron streets are among the simplest to design. Simply lay out a series of streets at right angles,
forming either square or rectangular blocks. Often, but not always, the blocks are all the same size.
• Organic streets go every which way. They start and end, seemingly at random. They curve back and
forth. Ideally they still form a dense grid of streets, but not always.
• The loose grid is sort of a compromise between the two systems above. Streets mostly come to four-
way intersections as with the gridiron, but they may curve and shift gradually as with the organic.
• The radial grid is a gridiron plan on steroids. It is strictly geometric, regardless of existing topography,
and in some cases changes the topography to better match the geometry.
• When I say the suburban pattern is less common, I mean in the center of cities or towns. Overall, the
suburban pattern is probably the dominant one in Anglo-America, but rarely do cities of this pattern
ever grow to considerable size.

• ARCHITECT
• The city of Singapore was planned by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1822, and his layout for the city largely
survives to this day, even if the city has expanded greatly through the years.
