Well, what we need is not merely the ability to make centrally-planned, well-engineered roads, but also twisting backalleys of the sorts that you get if there is no planning, and a villages grows up within a walled settlement as families "move out" of their parents house, and wind up building their new house in the space between their parent's house and their neighbor's house, so that they have a solid wall of amatuerishly built shacks that are all physically connected to one another.

Most Dark Age villages were built in that manner, and while "keep cramming more buildings in wherever they fit" may actually be easier to program than the "planned city" approach, there should be some means of adjusting how much chaos there is in the system.
