In the thirteenth century many Italian cities enacted laws on town planning resulting in wide ranging and effective building construction efforts, aesthetical improvements in town texture and significant water works projects in order to supply with clean water every neighbourhood, in sufficient quantity to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of streets and public areas.
