This looks close, but increasing the relative height of buildings compared to
their base areas gave them more orthogonal / artificial looking overall lines.

by the looks of it I'm assuming that the core of your procedural is a Crackle
pattern... If so, did you use metric 4 to give it more square appearance ? Some
metric superior to 25 would end up providing even "squarer" angled cells.

Using two planimetric components of the vector "form <x,y,z>" (depending on the
orientation of your scene) may also allow you to control the convexity of cells.

Thanks for your endeavour !

These are base on old tweaks I had tried when comparing Blender internal Voronoi
with pov's crackle procedural textures for the purpose of Blender to POV export.
