How did Nero rebuild Rome after the Great Fire?

Following the Great Fire of 64 CE, which destroyed large sections of the city, Nero implemented modern town-planning concepts to reconstruct Rome. His efforts included the following measures:1

• Urban Planning: Nero introduced new, wider streets and colonnades to the devastated areas.1
• Housing Reforms: He encouraged private citizens to construct more spacious and fireproof homes and apartment buildings, while also improving access to the public water supply.1
• The Golden House: Nero utilized the cleared land to build a massive, opulent palace known as the Golden House (Domus Aurea). This project was so vast that it reportedly would have covered a third of the city had it been completed.12
• Architectural Style: The city was reconstructed in the Greek style.2

While these measures aimed to improve the city's livability, they were highly controversial. The public, suspicious of his motives, believed Nero had started the fire specifically to clear space for his palace. This resentment led his successors to dismantle much of the Golden House, eventually replacing its site with public structures like the Colosseum.324
