Not entirely strange. Gancaloon is /not/ medieval in our sense, it is an 
extended Greek and oriental city. The Greek part of the city follows a 
strict planning with a limited number of (megaron) house types, not 
unlike what was developed in the Middle East or by the (here 
non-existent) Romans. Remember: this is a project of fantasy, not a 
historical reconstruction! ;-)

Just to drive the point home :-) Milete and Priene are excellent 
examples of such well-planned Greek city layout.

I just found this to illustrate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9JmPejLa3Y
