MESSAGE FROM TRADITIONAL SETTLEMENTS FOR FUTURE CITIES

by S. Ecemis Kilic

The concepts of “liveable city” or “sustainable city” are used widely for describing what the expectation of the future cities is. The concepts have some common objectives and refer to human oriented, environmentally friendly, economically efficient and socially sound, urban areas. When different traditional urban fabrics in Turkey have analyzed, it is seen that they  are  successful with  respect  to  sustainable  /liveable  urban  design  parameters  although they were not designed by a designer or planner.  The paper aimed to attain some principles for the more liveable future cities from the traditional urban forms and to find instruments for  transferring them in today’s planning and design theories and practices.
