And I can push the idea back to 1976 or 1977, when as part of a social
studies class, we use LEGO bricks to explore city planning, see the
following Lugnet posts for more details:

The idea was also raised early in the Castleworld discussion.
It's a great idea though, no matter who thought of it first.
