Much like Venice Italy, Tenochtitlan was a city on top of water (Lake Texcoco to be exact). surrounding it, there were other small man-made islands used for farming called "Chinampas". This city also had a water system and a Dam. All of this made possible without the use of metal or animals that are used to carry stuff (such as horses and bulls).

One of the most unique features about Tenochtitlan was that it was built on a lake. Not only that, but around the city, the Aztecs made floating gardens, called Chinampas, that allowed them to grow and maintain their own food.

It was the capital city for the Aztecs, and the interesting part is that the island was man made and is now modern day Mexico City.

I think that the streets were unusual because they were built on top of water. Like, they ran from the island to the main land.
