A line or boundary that marks or divides blocks, especially in urban planning or city layouts.
Compound of 'block' (city block) and 'line' (boundary). This term appears in urban planning and cartography from the 19th century onward.
A city's blocklines are invisible but powerful—they determine where millions of people walk, shop, and build their lives based on surveyor decisions made centuries ago.
