Your photos are being stripped out, but I've looked
at the site on Google Earth and agree with you. I tend
to prefer things laid out according to the flow of the
land, not superimposed upon it by some town planner
with a straight edge and a bad case of OCD. :-)
Except that the original layout doesn't seem to be
"according to the flow of the land." It has its
own straight-line grid, just at a different angle.
I just realised something. While Vaj and Barry are certainly
entitled to their opinions about
messing with Nature and building cities, singling out a place *IN
THE NETHERLANDS*
because it doesn't follow the rest of the "natural" terrain is
kinda silly...
...actually it is majorly silly. Ludicrously so.
Kind of a silly response since Vlodrop is no where near the sea.
Don't get me wrong--E-W and N-S alignments are a good thing IMO. I
have my own home aligned that way, but the home is more in the
tradition of western geomancy. After all, I'm not from India or China.
