GES Master's student DW Rowlands has her maps published on CityLab in reference to how street networks afford particular types of use, "... gridded street networks are also more efficient for public transit. It's with that mode in mind that DW Rowlands, a graduate student in human geography at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, has been taking a quantitative approach to the study of urban connectivity. As part of her thesis research, she has mapped the street intersections in eight U.S. cities to reveal how some have inherent disadvantages that planners seeking to provide high quality transit service can't always overcome with more buses alone."
