It could be done, altho' how one would deal with the number of "odd-sized" buildings in Midville (the shopping mall; the gov't offices; etc.) would seem to be a problem.

But then, there's always the _City Blocks_ supplements.

Or, better yet: One could use the old AutoVentures supplement _The Road_ as a starting point -- those ran the streets down the middles of the 8" x 8" squares; buildings could then be made as "deep" as one liked, without being restricted to 8" x 8" blocks. A "street grid" can be built using the "kriss kross" puzzles from Dell puzzle magazines: https://www.pennydellpuzzles.com/Upl...ek6_Puzzle.pdf ....
