ver wondered why a city looks the way it does on a map? Take Ottawa, Canada's capital, for example. Originally a lumber town, it went through big changes in its layout over the years. Let's explore one of the key plans that shaped the city – the Greber plan.

The city's first planning move happened in 1859 when Parliament Hill became the government center, with the iconic Peace Tower setting the skyline limit at 150 feet. But how did the city evolve from its lumber town origins to the structured capital we see today? Let's find out.
