Hippodamian

http://www.bartleby.com/65/hi/Hippodam.html
fl. 5th cent. B.C., Greek architect, b. Miletus. He was the first to plan cities according to geometric layouts. For Pericles he remodeled Piraeus (the port of Athens). He also planned (408) the city of Rhodes and went with the Athenian colonists to replan (c.440) the new city of Thurii in Italy. Other cities of the ancient world followed his methods.

Hippodamian town-planning

Aristotle
division of land into three
- ‘sacred land on which they could make customary offerings to the gods’
- ‘public land off of which the military class could live’
- ‘private land for farmers’

Thessaloniki's city plan during Roman times shows the Agora in the center, a group of magnificent public buildings, built in a specific architectural order, big streets parallel to the waterfront (Egnatia, Aghiou Demetriou), and small transverse streets, thus resembling a Hippodameian street plan. Other, smaller, streets also go back to Byzantine or ancient times. In about 620 many of the buildings in the Roman Agora were destroyed by an earthquake, leaving an open space, and it remained a big square until the years of Turkish rule
