I hope @CGPGrey doesn't mind me clipping his voice in the name of engineering! We're checking out Cities Skylines 2 (City Skyline 2) today, and what better way to do it than to see if hexagons truly are the bestagons for city layouts!

how else do you subdivide hexagons though? besides, that's one of the reasons why hexagons are the bestagons

@Robbedem 5 ай бұрын
The idea for using hexagons is that you only have 3-way crossroads, which improve traffic compared to 4-way crossroads. Dividing the hexagons in triangles, creates a lot of 6-way crossigns, which are terrible for traffic.

Just like it's logical a damn needs to built perfectly level. I wouldn't say it's a glitch, but realism. Look online and see how dams in the real world flooded towns because their engineer forgot flow rate... you could see the river in front of his dam was running dry, so all that water that used to flow in that river is flowing through his town now.

I did a Bestagon-city experiment in Cities Skylines(1) after reading about mixed-use urban development. My experiment used a bit larger hexagons for a "neighborhood-cell" and each city-cell had 3 "forest-and-parks-cells" right next to it, each "neighborhood-cell" also had up to 12 blocks with a strategic mixture of zones in each block so all zone-types were available within a cell. I ended up connecting the centre of each cell with a underground grid of roads and rails, and then I made the "boarder road" between each ground-level "cell" in the "city-lattice" be exclusively for biking, walking and services, with the above ground roads having a focus on bike-lanes, public transport lanes, and sidewalks. It was ridiculously expensive to build underground infrastructure to connect every cell in the city so everything would still be accessible by car, but each cell that got connected made the total number of cars plummet and get replaced by mostly pedestrians and cyclists. It also allowed the removal of many service buildings because a service in one cell suddenly covered a lot more ground trough a high-speed underground road network with essentially no traffic on it. Eventually the entirety of Bestagon-city was basically free of private car traffic, and it just worked.

in land surveiing there is a similar problem, when u take a point 0,0 and go out, all the tiny measurment incorrectnesses will add up, and so the farther u go from 0,0, the bader the fit. they solved that with correcting the system with local fixed points, which u have to include in your suvey triangulation, from which u can correct adjecent measurment patterns... if you understand what i mean. (in other words: before cascade adds up to hard, add a perfect hexagon with correct position, and align adjecent ones to this. repeat locally)

It would have been interesting to use a smaller hexagon inside your hexagons with sides of length 256, with the two positioned exactly the same. Perhaps use a length of half the size and then connect each corners of the larger hexagon using roads to the corners of the smaller one. This would have given you more room to build things in the middle of the hexagon. Having roads cross the hexagon from one corner to the opposing corner to create triangles created a lot of unbuildable space in the middle. If you needed a larger space to build something like the cemetery then the inner hexagon could be expanded until it fits. Another option would be instead of having a bunch of hexagons, start with a hexagon with 500m sides and you are only allowed to build smaller or larger hexagons centred on the same spot and positioned the same way, connected only at the corners or 2km spacing (for later on). The sides of each hexagon are a specific difference in length from one to the next. The value would be set so there would not be much empty space between the hexagon rings.

I did hexagons, with a smaller hexagon inside, but then broke the inside down to random streets. Some in a grid layout, some as a cul de sac, but I avoided roads that go straight through a hexagon. I also avoided to seperate zones via hexagons. Commercial zones were always at the outer edge of the hexagons with residental zones more to the center. It worked so well, it was almost boring.

This may actually be viable. With the wonky way the hexagons let you zone in you get plenty of unzoned space for decorating with greenery so people would like to live here. Add in roundabouts in middle of each hexagon for sanity sake and tweak the dam a little bit and I would say this is a great project. Lots of access with lots of options for work and modes of transportation as city grows. What worries me is upgrading buildings as they may cut into existing roads and parking spaces. I hope you continue with this build in the future.

I tried a different way of using hexagons to maximise the 3 way intersections, long roads and cul de sacs. So 4 long roads equidistant appart. The two outer roads connect with each other at both ends forming the shorter 4 roads of the elongated hexagon. The two inside long roads are cul de sacs. The connections are from a parallel diagonal running to one of the short sides. So say the centre right road would go to the top left short side and the centre left road to the short right side. Both connect at 120 degrees forming a T junction. Allows you to put long hexagons one after the other with minimal junctions and maximise space use with minimal roads. Commerce and industries can sit on the top and bottom of the long hexagon. You can even vary the length for the requirements of the city.

I built haxagons at 256m using a parallel road tool and pedestrian small streets. This made concentric hexies with a fun pattern of mosaic repeating hexagons everywhere. Super fun design. Connected the edges. The only thing I don't like are the 6-way intersections. I installed traffic circles everywhere and it seems to help a ton with traffic. I love hexagons. Names the city Hexagonia.

Be interesting to see variations of this. Like a quilting pattern like thibg with a square to start then hexagons on each side and so on. Or see which many sided shapes best use the triangle subdivisions, and at which point is it better to use kites or other shapes

You should enlarge the hexagons using wider roads, then make another smaller hexagon inside but now using narrow roads. That way, big bulding like cemetery would still fit inside a big hexagon, you only need to tweak the narrow roads inside a little bit

Hexagons are geometric wonders that seamlessly blend symmetry and efficiency, captivating the discerning eye with their six equal sides and angles. Nature itself has long recognized their brilliance, employing hexagonal patterns in structures such as honeycombs and the basalt columns of the Giant's Causeway. Beyond their aesthetic allure, hexagons possess a unique mathematical elegance; they maximize area while minimizing perimeter, making them a testament to the inherent harmony between form and function. From the microscopic world of molecular structures to the grandeur of celestial bodies, hexagons manifest as an enduring testament to the inherent beauty embedded in the fabric of our mathematical universe.

I am on quest for best layout too. Current working theory: New Jersey? One way streets only, no left turns, no red lights (just yield), jughandles. And using bus lanes or lane width changes to force traffic to recalculate what lane to be in, occasionally...
