Le città greche e la qualità della vita

The paper examines some regulations in Greek cities that deal with issues related to the liveability of city life, such as street cleaning, waste removal, water quality or combating building abuse. In particular, we analyze the law of the astynomoi of Pergamon, a series of Athenian regulations attested by literary sources and epigraphic evidence, and some provisions known from Paros and Thassos (including the so-called harbour stele).
