Comparison of environments with: a) a grid street pattern with high-connectivity; b) a poorly connected street network. Terms: accessibility, connectivity, walkability. Figure 2 demonstrates the differences between high street-network connectivity (Figure 2a) that would provide a more direct route between a origin and destination compared to low street-network connectivity with many cul-de-sacs and dead-ends (Figure 2b) which reduces the directness travel routes.
