Doxiadis ) ( 14 May 1914-28 June 1975 ), was a Greek architect and town planner.

At the peak of his popularity, in the 1960s, he addressed the US Congress on the future of American cities, his portrait illustrated the front cover of Time Magazine, his company Doxiadis Associates was implementing large projects in housing, urban and regional development in more than 40 countries, his Computer Centre ( UNIVAC-DACC ) was at the cutting edge of the computer technology of his time and at his annual " Delos Symposium " the World Society of Ekistics attracted the worlds foremost thinkers and experts.

* An arieal view of a portion of Islamabad whose planning Doxiadis was involved with.

Doxiadis recognized constraints on development, and concluded a 15 billion global population, mostly concentrated along linear strips of urbanized development, was the likely scenario.

Since his early years Doxiadis was drawn to mathematics and at the age of 15 he entered Columbia University in New York City to study maths.

Doxiadis believed that the conclusion from biological and social experience was clear: to avoid chaos we must organize our system of life from Anthropos ( individual ) to Ecumenopolis ( global city ) in hierarchical levels, represented by human settlements.

It ranges from the layout of entire cities, as with l ' Enfant's plan for Washington DC, Griffin and Mahony's plan for Canberra and Doxiadis ' plan for Islamabad ( although such opportunities are obviously rare ), through ' managing the sense of a region ' as described by Kevin Lynch, to the design of street furniture.

ecumenopolises or ecumenopoleis ) is a word invented in 1967 by the Greek city planner Constantinos Doxiadis to represent the idea that in the future urban areas and megalopolises would eventually fuse and there would be a single continuous worldwide city as a progression from the current urbanization and population growth trends.

Doxiadis is co-editor, with Barry Mazur, and contributor on the volume " Circles Disturbed: The interplay between mathematics and narrative ", published by Princeton University Press in 2012.

The term Ekistics ( coined by Konstantinos Apostolos Doxiadis in 1942 ) applies to the science of human settlements.

Doxiadis being aware of the unifying power of systems thinking and particularly of the biological and evolutionary reference models as used by many famous biologists-philosophers of his generation, especially Sir Julian Huxley ( 1887 – 1975 ), Theodosius Dobzhansky ( 1900 – 75 ), Dennis Gabor ( 1900 – 79 ), René Dubos ( 1901 – 82 ), George G. Simpson ( 1902 – 84 ), and Conrad Waddington ( 1905 – 75 ), used the biological model to describe the " Ekistic behavior " of Anthropos ( the five principles ) and the evolutionary model to explain the morphogenesis of human settlements ( the eleven forces, the hierarchical structure of human settlements, dynapolis, ecumenopolis ).

Note: The population figures below are for Doxiadis ' ideal future ekistic units for the year 2100 at which time he estimated ( in 1968 ) that Earth would achieve zero population growth at a population of 50, 000, 000, 000 with human civilization being powered by fusion energy.

Ekistics is a book by Konstantinos Doxiadis, published 1968.

In 1957, frustrated with bureaucracy and convinced that buildings would speak louder than words, he moved to Athens to collaborate with international planners evolving the principles of ekistical design under the direction of Constantinos Doxiadis.

Doxiadis ' most recent project is the graphic novel Logicomix, co-written with Christos Papadimitriou, a Computer Science professor at the University of California, Berkeley.

A major incentive for the development of the science is the emergence of increasingly large and complex settlements, tending to regional conurbations and even to a worldwide city ( Doxiadis uses the word " ecumenopolis ").

The mid-1980s began a prolific period for Doxiadis.

This is a mistake for which we pay very heavily .” Having recorded very successfully the destructions of the ekistic wealth in Greece during WWII, Doxiadis became convinced that human settlements are susceptible of systematic investigation.

( final version, from C. A. Doxiadis ' last book, ACTION for Human Settlements, p. 186, Athens Center of Ekistics, 1976 ):

Doxiadis proposed ekistics as a science of human settlement and outlined its scope, aims, intellectual framework and relevance.

Doxiadis also created a scenario based on the traditions and trends of urban development of his time, predicting at first a European eperopolis (" continent city ") which would be based on the area between London, Paris, and Amsterdam.

Doxiadis also argued their important role in separating man from machine.

Doxiadis graduated in architectural engineering from the Technical University of Athens in 1935, obtaining a doctorate from Charlottenburg University ( today Technical University of Berlin ) a year later.

In 1951 he founded Doxiadis Associates, a private firm of consulting engineers, which grew rapidly until it had offices on five continents and projects in 40 countries.

In the 1960s and 1970s, urban planner and architect Konstantinos Apostolos Doxiadis ( Constantinos Doxiadis ) authored books, studies, and reports including those regarding the growth potential of the Great Lakes Megalopolis.

His company Doxiadis Associates changed owners several times after his death, the heir to his computer company remained but without any links to planning or Ekistics.
