Technological developments and industrialism after the
industrial revolution has caused migrations from rural areas to urban areas and
as such has caused fast urbanization which has led to unplanned development of
cities. People have started to use motor vehicles to reach far distances in thecities which have changed form and scale by spreading their boundaries.
Especially after the II World War, as the motored vehicles have become the
dominant form of transportation, the road surfaces in cities have increased and
in inverse proportion to this, available areas for pedestrians have decreased.
One of the biggest urbanization problems that we are
faced with today includes not taking into account the usage of the city areas
by the pedestrians. Especially the traffic problem that reaches greater heightsin metropolitan cities and the fact that pedestrians are not able to find any
place on the roads for themselves has made it mandatory to take new planning
decisions relate to transportation in our era.
