Earlier this week, a variety of nationalist groups began to advocate the renaming of Amherst Street, ostensibly because [...]]]></description>

When the British gained control of Kowloon in 1860, it laid a grid of mostly numbered streets through Yau Ma Tei. Most of [...]]]></description>

University Street in Toronto, which runs straight into the Ontario provincial parliament building, has a nice median and a good visual terminus, but it&#8217;s ruined by drab furnishings and even more banal buildings. Montreal&#8217;s René-Lévesque [...]]]></description>

Not just numbered, but numbered according to quadrant, so that streets are known as 4th Street SW or 36th Avenue NE, and 4th Street and 4th Avenue intersect not just once, but four times, in each corner of the city.
