The original 1833 plan of Modern Athens by Kleanthis and Schaubert (left) and the alterations made by Klenze in 1834. With red color, is noted an estimation of the area of our case study, which in the final plan lays clearly out of the limits of the designed city.

Next to it, towards the North East lays the area of our case study that, as we can see in the original plan, was supposed to continue a perpendicular grid of blocks with houses ( Fig. 3, ...

... street (also called Boulevard), which is the limit of our case study area. This part of the design was laying outside of the limits of the existing old city, on the empty land. The original plan was modified in 1834 by Leo von Klenze, who kept the idea of the original triangular form, but attempted to reduce the grandeur of the original plan (Fig. 3, right). Part of the alterations was the keeping of a bigger part of the old city by doing only minor adjustments in the curvy medieval urban fabric(Καλλιβρετάκης, n.d.), by widening and aligning of just a few streets (very close to what we saw Hausmann doing in Paris, though in a much smaller scale).

The relative and contextual nature of these distinctions is also exemplified by Koutsoumpos (2019), who uses "urban ethics" to refer to habituated senses of the good and bad -and "urban morality" for rule-based, discursive, rational approaches embodied in, for example, top-down urban planning. This is in important ways different from how the terms are used here, but, as Sayer would put it, it also "makes sense" and enables important analytical work, in that case in urban planning history and theory. ...
