Greek city-states were built on hills or mountains for protection from frequent wars. An ideal polis, or city-state, had around 5,000 male citizens and served as the center of community life. Hippodamus was an early urban planner who introduced grid systems and proposed an ideal city for 10,000 people divided into sections for artisans, farmers, and military, with land also divided for sacred, public, and private use, as implemented in the city of Miletus.
