		Whatever the verdict, the 1837 grid of wide and narrow streets remains Melbourne's dominating historic memento of European settlement.

		As an expansion of the localities project, I've added a page for the Hoddle Grid, from which pages for the major city thoroughfares (Collins Street, Swanston Street, et cetera) can be linked.
		I think, historically, Hoddle Grid is an appropriate term.
		Maybe the page should be moved to Melbourne CBD (The Hoddle Grid) or something similar.

	City of Melbourne
		Hoddle produced the first surveyor's plan in 1837, laying out the streets of Melbourne in their present position – known as the Hoddle Grid.
		The wider Melbourne grid originated at Batman's Hill, from which two primary section lines were mapped.
		Hoddle set out the two primary section lines from Batman's Hill near the new Spencer Street Railway development.

		Hoddle did not include the fact that the entire east end of the grid was covered in trees, that the south end of Elizabeth Street was underwater for several months of the year, that houses were standing where streets were to be laid, and that the mapped streets had practically no corresponding pathways in reality.
		Russell, Hoddle’s predecessor and junior, insisted that “there was a plan in the Sydney office generally approved as suitable for laying out a new township and I had a copy of it,” and it had been used as a model of Melbourne (Cited in James Grant 6).
		Hoddle had served in the corps of Royal Military Surveyors and Draftsmen for at least seven years between 1812 and 1822, where it is almost certain he learned the economies of a straight line (Hoddle, A Chapter on Port Phillip v).

		There are real signs now that Glenn Hoddle is succeeding in his quest to transform Southampton from perennial battlers to a side capable of residing comfortably in mid-table obscurity.
		But Hoddle has built an efficient vehicle for his ambitions, based on the reliable chassis of Dean Richards with Marian Pahars adding high-octane excitement.
		Hoddle admitted that Chelsea's defeat here last month influenced his tactics - "When you come to Bradford you can't play silky football for 90 minutes" - and with five Saints in the midfield Bradford's hopes of playing their way to victory were snuffed out.

		Robert Hoddle (20 April 1794 - 24 October 1881) was a surveyor for Port Philip in the 1830s, and the creator of the Hoddle Grid in central Melbourne.
		Hoddle came to New South Wales in 1823, and he spent time with explorer John Oxley in Queensland and surveying the Blue Mountains.
		His designs were an innovation for Australian cities because Melbourne and its inner suburbs were well planned in the grid style.

		Hoddle's departure was a personal slight to the chairman who gave him his first opportunity to return to management after his controversial exit from the England post.
		Hoddle's intentions could involve a greater emphasis on tactics than under Strachan, who inevitably opted for 4-4-2.

		Hoddle, sent to prepare land for sale in the new district by Sir Richard Bourke, the Governor of NSW, had the great sense and moral courage to stand up for his belief in the width of the streets.
		Hoddle urged the Governor to reconsider and convinced him that the wider streets would be advantageous to health and future convenience of the city.
		Mrs Hoddle Colville has been able to research from Hoddle’s own diary and writings, which gives the reader a real understanding of what life must have been like for this one of our earliest and most significant of pioneers.

		What is now recognised as Geelong was granted local government in 1849, a mere fourteen years after John Batman had acquired 100,000 acres of land in the area, through an illegal 'beads and blankets' deal.
		In this ruled, rational grid, placed between fresh water and a safe harbour, one sees the hallmarks of nineteenth-century urban design.
		Hoddle had instructed his Assistant Surveyor, W. Smythe, to 'commence 100 yards from the highwater mark at Corio'.

		This project is positioned within the Melbourne CBD, constrained by the arbitrary boundaries of the Hoddle grid — Latrobe, Spencer, Flinders and Spring streets.
		By positioning ourselves within the constraints of the grid, a finer understanding of the specific relationships this entails is central.

		As early Melbourne grew beyond the Hoddle Grid, the city stretched out in fingers along rail and tram lines, often with bits and pieces of open country in between.
		In the 1950's and 1960's, as private car ownership rose, beyond the limits of tram and rail lines, newer suburbs were built.

	History of Melbourne
		in March 1837, the Sydney government sent Robert Hoddle, the surveyor, to stake out an eruption of civilisation by a bunch of speculative types from Van Dieman's Land who had occupied the site of Melbourne for 18 months.
		the grid was to follow a strict north-south grid plan in the Sydney office which was a generic design for colonial townships set out in government regulations in 1829.
		Bourke first objected to the wide streets but agreed on condition that they be interleaved with lanes - the "Little" streets, which became the bane of bullockies and Beemer drivers from that day to this.
