    This document summarizes the history of urban design from early civilizations to the modern era. It describes the key features of cities from Catal Huyuk and Khirokitia, which had no streets and circular huts, to Mesopotamian and Egyptian cities with massive architecture, ornamentation, and religion-influenced design. Greek cities emphasized beauty, scale, and public spaces. Roman cities simplified ornamentation and emphasized public spaces and monumental structures. Medieval cities had high walls and narrow, unsanitary streets. Renaissance cities focused on symmetry and wider roads and plazas. The Industrial Revolution led to tenement housing and environmental degradation. Building codes later addressed some urban issues.
