Millennia-old plan plus old city; a recipe for dysfunction

Miletus and Piraeus were planned by Hippodamus "the father of urban planning". Both cities, as most during his time (circa 450 BC) were built on hillsides/tops.

The millennia old plan with narrow streets and practically no sidewalks creates a crowded, dysfunctional environment.

The New Urban context (ways of living and moving) clashes with the old plan.

See albums titled FUSED GRID and WIKIPEDIA for an alternative contemporary plan.
