Evelyn's Plan for Rebuilding Post-Great Fire London: A Proposal for a Classical Grid System and Series of Squares This print depicts Evelyn's Plan for rebuilding London after the devastating Great Fire of 1666. Proposed by the renowned English scientist, philosopher, and diarist, John Evelyn, this plan aimed to replace the meandering mediaeval street pattern with a modern, ordered classical grid system. The map, created in the late 17th century, presents a visionary proposal for the reconstruction of the city. Evelyn's design features a series of squares interspersed throughout the grid, creating a sense of symmetry and order. These squares, inspired by the classical architectural principles of the time, were intended to serve as communal spaces for Londoners to gather and socialize. The meandering street pattern of mediaeval London, with its winding lanes and irregular layout, was a stark contrast to the proposed modern grid system. Evelyn believed that this new plan would not only improve the functionality and accessibility of the city but also enhance its overall aesthetic appeal. The historical significance of Evelyn's plan is evident in its influence on the development of London's urban landscape. Although the plan was not fully implemented, it laid the groundwork for future urban planning projects and served as a model for the creation of other planned cities throughout Europe. This intriguing print offers a glimpse into the rich history of London's urban development and the visionary ideas of one of England's most influential thinkers. With its intricate details and meticulous design, it is a must-have for any collection focusing on the history of London, urban planning, or the works of John Evelyn.
