Alovera, PhD Professor  Topics Hippodamus: Profile Achievements Philosophy Famous Urban Planners Future Urban Planners  Lesson Objectives At the end of the lesson, graduate school students must have: 1. Discussed the contributions of Hippomadus in urban planning. 2. Discovered the characteristics of plan by Hippodamus. 3. Created a poster (quote) related to urban planning.  Hippodamus of Miletus Profile Hippodamus of Miletus (498 – 408 BC) ancient Greek architect urban planner physician mathematician meteorologist philosopher considered to be "the father of European urban planning" and the namesake of the "Hippodamian plan" (grid plan) of city layout.  Hippodamus of Miletus (498 - 408 BC) Hippodamus was a pioneer of urban planning he devised an ideal city to be inhabited by 10,000 men (free male citizens), while the overall population (including women, children, and slaves) would reach 50,000.  Hippodamus of Miletus He studied the functional problems of cities and linked them to the state administration system. As a result, he divided the citizens into three classes: Soldiers Artisans Husbandmen with the land also divided into three Sacred Public private  Hippodamus of Miletus first urban planner to focus attention to proper arrangements of cities. He laid out the Piraeus (the port of Athens) for Pericles, with wide streets radiating from the central Agora, which was generally called the Hippodameia in his honour In 440 BC he went out among the Athenian colonists and planned the new city of Thurium (later Thurii), in Magna Graecia, with streets crossing at right angles; as a consequence he is sometimes referred to as Hippodamus of Thurium. His principles were later adopted in many important cities, such as Halicarnassus, Alexandria and Antioch.  Hippodamus of Miletus The grid plans attributed to him consisted of series of broad, straight streets, cutting one another at right angles. In Miletus we can find the prototype plan of Hippodamus. What is most impressive in his plan is a wide central area, which was kept unsettled according to his macro-scale urban prediction/estimation and in time evolved to the "Agora", the centre of both the city and the society.  Hippodamus of Miletus The Urban Planning Study for Piraeus (451 BC), which is considered to be a work of Hippodamus, formed the planning standards of that era and was used in many cities of the classical epoch.  Hippodamus of Miletus Hippodamus came the earliest notions of patent law. Hippodamus proposed that society should reward those individuals who create things useful for society. writings attributed to Hippodamus On the State On Happiness Pythagoras Theorems  Hippodamian Principles a square city a street plan based on squares (or rectangles) a (colonnaded) main street a large agora in the center  Hippodamian Principles Examples Olynthus in Macedonia Alexandria in Egypt Dura Europos in Syria Acragas on Sicily  Characteristics of Plans characterised by order and regularity in contrast to the intricacy and confusion common to cities of that period, even Athens. He is seen as the originator of the idea that a town plan might formally embody and clarify a rational social order. Olynthus, Macedonia Dura Europos, Syria Alexandria in Egypt Acragas, Sicily Famous Urban Planners Daniel Burnham 1846-1912 Ebenezer Howard 1850-1928 Patrick Geddes 1854-1932 Frank Lloyd Wright 1867-1959 Clarence Stein 1882-1975 Le Corbusier Robert Moses 1888-1981 Kevin Lynch 1918-1984 Edward Bacon 1910-2005 Le Corbusier Jan Gehl William H.
