 * To start, infrastructure will cover architecture and construction methods. So this infrastructure will be based on Roman architecture and construction. ** A broad plain with good soil was ideal, often along a river or coastline. Locations with forests or quarries nearby made construction easier. Once a suitable location was found, the surveyors laid out the city plan. The Romans were the first to have a set plan for cities.

This connects to modern day times because they named their streets back then like we do today.
