Also referred to as Miletus city plan, this term refers to an ancient urban planning grid. A Milesian layout incorporates a pattern that has streets of a set width and blocks of houses with uniform dimensions.

This form of city planning most likely goes back to ancient times. It is associated with Assyrian and Babylonian empires in the 7th century BC. Its name comes from the city of Miletus.

While it was championed by Hippodamos of Miletus (known as ‘the father of European urban planning’), the Milesian layout was not his invention. However, Hippodamos did formulate another type of grid plan referred to as the Hippodamian Plan.

In addition to the city of Miletus, the ancient city of Paestum was also built in this grid configuration.
