[OC] The road networks of the world’s biggest cities — each drawn at the same scale

Each panel shows a 7 km around the city center. All of them have the same zoom so you can compare each city. Each of those thin blue lines is a road

I’ve always been intrested by how a city’s layout reflects its history, like how NYC's planned boxy lanes date back to the 1700s, while newer cities exploded outward in a rush of population and growth.

Built entirely in python  using OpenStreetMap data.

Have fun exploring it, mabye you will see your own city.
