Historical squares can be basically
divided into two:

developed gradually with town
- square have been planned as clearly
defined as a any individual piece of
architecture

square represents a blend of factors
- Topographical
- Climatic
- National

Beginning of the square
- First squares were formed in Greek
acropolis

organized, squares were irregular
- agora was a place for political
gathering and changed gradually into a
center for marketing and eventually
become solely commercial
