The Manhattan Distance between two points is the sum of the differences of their coordinates; literally, it’s the distance you’d walk between two points in a city, where your movement is restricted to right angles by the city blocks. Under most circumstances the Manhattan Distance is longer than the straight-line distance between two points.
