Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to some problems of urbanization in ancient Rome which has been defined by Vitruvius Pollion as an activity regulated by the state in order to organize cities and achieve better living conditions, safety, hygiene and aesthetics as well as to establish clear rules for construction, reconstruction and location of private and public buildings. A distinction has been made between the requirements of Public works and the actual construction work in Roman cities. Special attention is paid to the limitations imposed on private property by a public interest - requirements for construction materials, distances between buildings, providing access for people and transport, regulated building height for individual districts, mandatory expenditures for repairs and maintenance of buildings ban for demolition for the purpose of selling construction materials, etc.
