  11. As agriculture replaced a nomadic existence, permanent human settlements began to appear . These early cities became centres for trade, defence and politics and also centres for distributing the agricultural surplus that a settled farming society produces .

  12. Ur (modern Iraq) and some city in the Indus valley are the first examples of planned city in history. They had streets in a grid pattern divided into: commercial boulevards and alleyways. Streets had: drainage, large granaries, urban sanitation.

  13. The greek Hippodamus is considered the father of city planning in the west for his design of Miletus. The Romans used a consolidated scheme for city planning developed for military defense and civil convenience. The basic plan was a central plaza surrounded by a grid of streets and defense walls. Two diagonal streets cross the square and all the streets were at right angles in a square grid. Each square was marked by for roads called insulae (a city block).

  14. Scheme for military defense
