A fool's errand, driven by densely spaced city streets. An omni-directional solution would tend toward quasi-spherical. Fuller's Old Man River's City project:

Old Man River's City project

The Old Man River's City project was an architectural design created by Buckminster Fuller in 1971. Fuller was asked to design the structure by the city of East St. Louis. Old Man River's City would have been a truly massive housing project for the city's 70,000 residents. The total capacity of the building, a circular multi-terraced dome, would be 125,000 occupants. Each family would have approximately 2,500 square feet (230 m2) of living space.Wikipedia
Even if it turned into a dystopia, it would be a clean, well-lighted dystopia.
