You might want to look at Grady Clay's 1973 book

CLOSEUP: How to Read the American City


He does a nice job of looking at what he calls "breaks"
in the pattern of cities,  especially changes at the 
boundaries of different road systems.

Note that he doesn't treat these statistically  or analytically
but more as interesting phenomenae that affect life and flows
in the city.
