It's interesting how a map design can have an influence on social behaviour and city development.

> Beck’s design may have helped persuade city dwellers to make the leap to suburbs serviced by the Underground “by making them look closer to the center, and showing how easy it was to commute.”

Somewhat related, it reminded me some new residential buildings were intentionally incorrectly named with a hint of the nearby district. e.g. A building is located in district A, but was named as "B garden". It is because district B is an over-all better living area, so the flats can be priced higher.
