	Town / City Planning in Ancient Greece
		Hippodamus arranged the buildings and the streets of Miletus around 450 BC such that the winds from the mountains and the sea close to Miletus could flow optimal through the city and provide a cooling during the hot summer.
		Hippodamus first applied to his home city the grid plan which he had developed on inspiration from geometrically designed settlements, and that later many cities were laid out according to this plan.
		The city of Hippodamus was composed of 10,000 citizens divided into three parts—one of artisans, one of husbandmen, and a third of armed defenders of the state.

		In discoursing on the problems inherent in the ideal regimes of Socrates, Phaleas, and Hippodamus, Aristotle is able to explain to the reader the reasons for these problems as well as come up with solutions that serve in part to comprise his own political theory.
		Hippodamus went on to suggest that jurors should have other options rather that to condemn or acquit, among various other assertions regarding law and rulers.
		He also finds problematic the way in which the land is divided, making the land of the farmers private, not enabling them to provide the other parts of the regime with sustenance and forcing public land to be used for the purpose of providing food for the rest of the regime.

		Hippodamus theorized that the transportation limit of pedestrian travel and the construction techniques of the day, limited the ideal size of a city to five to ten thousand people.
		The genius of Hippodamus was his realization that the social integration of the city served an economic purpose.
		In the days of Hippodamus where the principal means of transport was walking, the ideal city size was 5,000 to 10,000 people.

		The change which Hippodamus introduced was the substitution of broad straight streets, crossing each other at right angles, for the crooked narrow streets, with angular crossings, which had before prevailed throughout the greater part, if not the whole, of Greece.
		We learn from Aristotle that Hippodamus devoted great attention to the political, as well as the archi tectural ordering of cities, and that he wished to have the character of knowing all physical science.
		This circumstance, with a considerable degree of personal affectation, caused him to be ranked among the sophists, and it is very probable that much of the wit of Aristophanes, in his Birds, is aimed at Hippodamus.

	Cool Fact: First Planned Cities
		Hippodamus divided his cities into three sections, for religious, administrative, and commercial uses.

		The regular grid plan for cities in the Greek world was perhaps an invention of the 7th century BC, as a means of laying out new colonies evenhandedly, and using simple instruments and eyesight.
		Hippodamus of Miletus probably laid some theory onto what was already a common practice, redesigning not only his own home town but Piraeus, the port of Athens.
		Except in cases of earthquake, devastating sack or decline, a street-plan once formulated is rarely changed until the Roman period, although it is not unusual for it to be extended.

		Hippodamus is generally referred to as the inventor of the gridiron plan, and "father of town planning."
		Not true - the grid organization of city parts was applied to planned parts of cities 2000 years earlier.
		Hippodamus did organize the component parts of Miletus - the central area, the housing, the commerce, the cultural and leisure facilities and the defensive wall, creating an integrated urban entity.

		This Hippodamus, as Aristotle tells us in this place, was the son of Euryphon, a man so devoted to the pursuit of exquisite delights that by some he was considered to lead a dainty and artificial manner of life.
		Furthermore, all crimes in the commonwealth pertain either to the harm of citizens, which is injury, to the deprivation of property, which is loss, or to the destruction of persons, which is murder.
		Among the many things which are nobly taught by Hippodamus in this place, this strikes me as particularly useful, that in a well-regulated commonwealth he established a single supreme court, to which, as to a sacred anchor and asylum, we may take refuge from corrupt, unlearned, or ill-disposed judges.

		The most common style of city planning used by the Greeks was credited by them as the invention of Greek named Hippodamus.
		Living in the early 5th Century BC Hippodamus can only be positively credited with the planning of one or two Greek cities, but his name became synonymous with the typical city style used by the Greeks.
		Miletus, the home town of Hippodamus, for example was not divided into elongated residential blocks but rather square blocks divided by an extensive grid of virtually identical streets, with only a couple that can be identified as having been of greater importance than the others.

		It is very interesting that Descartes says it is self-evident that such a city, designed by one man, would be more beautiful than a city that has evolved over a course of centuries, which apparently explains why Levittown, New Jersey, is more beautiful than Charleston or Rome.
		The most interesting aberration in Hippodamus’ neat little system is the payment of rewards for people who propose useful political innovations.

		Hippodamus characteristically divided everything—the population, laws, and land—into threes because he wrongly thought that human nature was amenable to mathematical manipulation.
		A true science of man, Aristotle counters, takes its bearing from that mix of reason and passion, wisdom and custom, that is characteristic of human life.
