That sounds like a wild canvas—think a street grid that’s also a living mural, bike lanes that double as pop‑up galleries. The trick is to give the city a rhythm, like a heartbeat that still lets the artists pulse in their own beat. I can picture zoning maps with pockets of spontaneous performance art, a park that turns into a sound studio at dusk. Let’s make sure the “strict efficiency” isn’t a straight line but a playful curve, so traffic flows but the streets still feel alive. Your ideas might just be the secret sauce that keeps the city humming and the art flowing.

Nice! A grid that’s actually a secret backstage pass—traffic lights turning into applause cues. Just make sure the “tight” part isn’t too tight that the artists feel like they’re in a maze. Give them a little wiggle room, like a hidden alley that turns into a stage when someone pushes a button. Keep the rhythm, keep the surprise. Sounds like a city that could write its own soundtrack while the buses chug along.
