Abstract

The article assesses the significance of innovative ideas of the ancient Greek architect, philosopher and urban planner Hippodamus for the development of modern urban planning. An ecological approach and zoning of urban space in a regular style made it possible to move from spontaneous development to a science-based approach. The "Hippodamus system" in urban planning is an ingrained concept in many theoretical works on the history of architecture and urban planning. In practice, the planning and construction of cities, in the process of their historical development, in certain natural, climatic and socio-economic conditions, there were principles that reflect the great achievements of the ancient Greek civilization. Hippodamus was the author of the regular layout of Greek cities. Subsequently, the hippodamus Planning model was developed in cities in Europe and America. The principles of regular development of ancient Greek cities, developed according to the Hippodamus system, are still used in world urban planning. For the first time in European practice, Hippodamus began to take into account local natural and climatic conditions when building.
