This paper demonstrates the need for nonplanar graphs when modeling urban street networks, which was one of the original motivations for developing OSMnx.

This study uses OSMnx to model and analyze the street networks of every urban area in the world: over 160 million OpenStreetMap street network nodes and over 320 million edges across 8,914 urban areas in 178 countries.
