New Directions in Urban Planning in the Ancient Mediterranean
assembles the most up-to-date research on the design and
construction of ancient cities in the wider Mediterranean. In
particular, this edited collection reappraises and sheds light on
'lost' Classical plans. Whether intentional or not, each ancient
plan has the capacity to embody specific messages linked to such
notions as heritage and identity. Over millennia, cities may be
divested of their buildings and monuments, and can experience
periods of dramatic rebuilding, but their plans often have the
capacity to endure. As such, this volume focuses on Greek and Roman
grid traces - both literal and figurative. This rich selection of
innovative studies explores the ways that urban plans can
assimilate into the collective memory of cities and smaller
settlements. In doing so, it also highlights how collective memory
adapts to or is altered by the introduction of re-aligned plans and
newly constructed monuments.
