Hippodamus of Miletus is recognized as one of the foremost pioneers of urban planning in ancient Greek history, credited with establishing the grid plan—a revolutionary approach to city organization. His thought integrated philosophical, social, and architectural dimensions, perceiving the city as a holistic entity intertwining politics, economy, and social life. This study explores the historical and intellectual context that enabled Hippodamus to formulate his theories, focusing on his practical implementations in cities like Miletus and Piraeus, and his influence on Hellenistic and Roman urban planning. The research also examines the psychological and social legacy of the grid model, highlighting its role in enhancing communal identity and quality of life. Finally, it demonstrates the enduring relevance of Hippodamus’s ideas in contemporary sustainable urban design, underscoring the timelessness and modernity of his vision.
