The large cities in particular are really impressive. There's a great fantasy map generator which I followed on Twitter for a long time (can't find it right now, sadly) which would be a magnificent companion tool.

#25Serious application for these tools: crowded countries like the UK often talk about building new towns rather than annoying everyone is existing towns by more and more building work.
Unfortunately, new towns tend to be rather formulaic and dull. With tools like these, you could start with a medieval city generator and use algorithms to apply changes that would have happened over 500 years and then build the new town based on the result, something more organic and natural than something designed from scratch.
They should have a competition for it!

Possibly Uncharted Atlas, though they don't do cities. https://twitter.com/unchartedatlas

One problem. Cars!
Unless you can lay down some serious infrastructure as a constraint first hand. Driving in these types of places is always insane. Just look at Italy.
It'd be an easy problem to solve by pushing for a carless city or smaller car city paradigm. But folk will want their cars.

Re: Medieval Fantasy City Generator
#30A lot of European medieval cities are built on top of an ancient Roman city. You can usually perceive a very straight broad North-South street and a straight (but not so wide) East-West street, which have been kept from the earlier Roman city. The rest of the streets, however, seem to be in random order.
