Is this the whole city or just the same poster neighborhood again and again? I can't imagine the ancients having the same building codes for wage earners as they do now.

This is only Eixample, the entire city does not look like this.

Mohenjo-Daro, Harappa, and other Indus valley civilization cities had grid layouts 4,600 years ago; Egypt used grid layouts around the same time; Babylon, 15th century BCE China, classical Greece and Rome, Teotihuacan... turns out that grid layouts have been the go-to for planned cities pretty much since people came up with the idea of planning cities. 🤷‍♂️
