Penn's grid, by design
Philadelphia
Pennsylvania, United States
William Penn laid out Philadelphia's Center City grid in 1682, and the cardinal-aligned streets still produce reliable sun corridors today. Market Street and the cross-streets between the rivers are the classic alignment spots, with Independence Hall and City Hall providing instantly recognisable foreground.
