The story of urbanization and transportation is as ancient as human history. Throughout history, people have been established
their habitats near rivers, intersection points of roads and trade routes in alignment with strategical, cultural points or martial
policies. Almost all of these are directly or indirect transportation elements. One needs to evaluate samples from different
geographies comparatively to realize planning improvement. In this context, Turkey’s cities, especially major of them such as
Istanbul, Ankara, İzmir, and Bursa do not manifest uniform topographies and characteristics. Hence, it is beneficial to evaluate
cities in other locations which resemble Turkey's cities to obtain different perspectives.
