Preface

This book is associated with the Global Conference on Global Warming: Focus on

Energy-Transport-Greenhouse Effects, held in Athens on May 24–27, 2015. Objec-

tives are in accordance with the conference’s presentations and mainly concern the exchange of technical information, dissemination of high-quality research results

and presentation of new policy and scientific developments, while promoting future

priorities for a more sustainable development and energy security.

In particular, energy-related issues in all engineering disciplines for a wide area

of applications in the renewables and fossil fuels sectors are described, incorporat-

ing cross-cutting effects. It includes main aspects of transportation discipline with

emphasis on the elimination of the impact on greenhouse effects.

High-quality technical knowledge and research results from specific test cases

around the world are being analysed, providing a holistic view in the main aspects

of the Global Warming issue. The latter also concern current policies and emissions

from air and maritime transport, in addition to the fossil fuel applications. Novel

technologies such as Carbon Capture and Storage are investigated along with

process/systems analysis and optimization for mitigating CO2 emissions. Water

resources management and waste water treatment as well as waste management

issues are also tackled. Biomass, hydrogen and solar energy technologies are

presented along with an insight on green buildings.

The utmost scope of this book is to contribute to the scientific community, since

it includes scientific approaches from many organisations around the globe,

presenting key issues, challenges and research results in a variety of scientific

areas that relate to the Global Warming effects.

Urban Development Policy and Urban Sprawl in Turkey

Münevver €Ozge Balta

Introduction

Metropolitan areas are rapidly changing in response to urban development dynam-

ics. Urban sprawl is defined as a form of urbanization which inefficient,

low-density, suburban development around the periphery. Sprawl is a leading

process at the edges of urban growth and implies deficient and weak planning

control on land policy.

Since the beginning of twentieth century, the world population has increased

dramatically, and especially metropolitan areas have undergone diverse structural

changes. As many other developing countries, Turkey was faced with the fast

urbanization which necessitated immediate formulation of new planning policies

in metropolitan areas. Metropolitan development areas have spread out into rural

areas, so planning policies supposedly regulate this new pattern of development.

In Turkey, local governments frequently use partial plans with a tendency for

discontinuity for urban fringe areas. In actuality, the urban space is patchy and the

applications can be different from the plan decisions. Partial plans may completely

change the urban settlement character. Since 1980, urban development in metro-

politan areas in Turkey has been especially piecemeal, rather than holistic. So, in

the process, urban development planning has tended to be piecemeal, resulting

urban sprawl.

This paper is concerned with the notion of urban sprawl, particularly planning

policies in metropolitan areas. It aims to discuss the impacts of planning tools and

regulations for urban sprawl. The paper also investigates a research problem that

could show the characteristic of metropolitan development and planning procedure

in Turkey.

Urban Sprawl

“Urban sprawl” is used to describe low-density, inefficient, suburban development

around the periphery. Sprawl is defined as a form of urbanization distinguished by

leapfrog development, commercial strips, low density, separated land uses, auto-

mobile dominance and a minimum of public open space (Table 1.1).

Squires (2002) defines sprawl as “a pattern of urban and metropolitan growth that

reflects low density, automobile-dependent, exclusionary new development on the

fringe of settled areas often surrounding a deteriorating city”. Urban sprawl is a

consequence of many factors, such as the need for industrial establishment for larger

and less expensive locations which force them to move out of the city centre where

they were previously settled, the increasing mobility of middle and high income

groups due to private car ownership and changing socio economic value systems.

Urban sprawl is a consequence of many factors, such as the need for industrial

establishment for larger and less expensive locations which force them to move out

of the city centre where they were previously settled, the increasing mobility of

middle and high income groups due to private car ownership and changing socio

economic value systems (Balta and Eke 2011).

European Environment Agency defines the stimulants of urban sprawl as macro

economic factors, micro-economic factors, demographic factors, housing prefer-

ences, inner city problems, transportation and regulatory frameworks (Table 1.2).

Sprawl is the leading edge of urban growth and implies deficient and weak planning

control on land subdivision.

Table 1.1 Characteristics of sprawl (Ewing 1997)

Leapfrog or scattered

development

It means subdivisions shopping centers and office parks widely

spread apart

Commercial strip

development

It is characterized by huge roads with shopping centres,

gas-stations, fast-food restaurants, banks, parking lots, etc.

Low density Suburban buildings are often single-story and widely spaced,

with intervening parking lots and roadways

Large expanses of single-use

development

Housing consist predominantly of single-family homes on indi-

vidual lots

Poor accessibility (Automo-

bile dominance)

The longer distances between activities

Lack of public open space In suburban area, public open space can be difficult to find

except school yard

6 M.Ö. Balta

In summary, some scholars (Beauregard 2006; Gillette 2005; Teaford 2006) thus

conclude that urban sprawl should be accepted as one of the forms of metropolitan

growth while others (Burchell et al. 1998; Cox and Utt 2004; Ewing et al. 2002;

Snyder and Bird 1998) condemn urban sprawl because of its detrimental affects

such as social segregation, upheave and change or economic prosperity; urban

sprawl is one of the evitable spatial attributes of metropolitan development (Balta

and Eke 2011).

There are two main reasons of urban sprawl. First reason is lack of laws and

regulations supporting planning, second, reason is lack of goodwill and determina-

tion of local authorities to keep the urban macroform as planned.

Urban Sprawl and Energy Consumption

In the last years, cities have gone through problems as global climate change.

Together with the urban growth, greenhouse gases (GHGs) are receiving increas-

ingly more attention (Glicksman 2007). The rise in population and individual car

ownership is mainly attributed to urban sprawl. Suburban areas is often believed to

be less energy efficient than urban core. Overall energy consumption of a territory,

especially as far as travel energy consumption is concerned with urban sprawl

(Ewing 1994).

Urban sprawl is a consequence of many factors, such as the need for industrial

establishment for larger and less expensive locations which force them to move out

of the city centre where they were previously settled, the increasing mobility of

middle and high income groups due to private car ownership and changing socio

economic value systems.

Urban sprawl has many effects on urban environment as unplanned expansion of

the city may not coordinate with the public transportation system which brings loss

of time in journeys towards the city centre, increased energy consumption and

increased traffic congestion. Motorization has increased energy demand.

Urban Development Policy in Turkey

Metropolitan growth of Turkey is due to fast urbanization and results in urban

sprawl. The formulation and implementation of urban development plans in Turkey

is guided by the statutory provisions of the country’s planning system. The multiple

plans are lack of determined policies and the multiplicity of speculative market

forces and their heavy demands in Turkey. Thus, metropolitan growth was

transformed into an oil-spill form in most of the Turkish cities.

Metropolitan areas have been attracting a large population from rural areas since

the 1960s. Although the rate of migration has slowed down in the last two decades,

it has caused a considerable increase in the population of the metropolitan areas of

Turkey (Erkip 2005). Turkey was urbanizing fast, changing from an agriculture to

an urban-based economy. Two major steps were taken in 1960s. A new ministry of

planning was established to deal with planning, housing and infrastructural issues,

being responsible to draw urban development strategies, to undertake housing

programmes and improvement of squatter housing, and above all to approve all

plans prepared and adopted in local municipal councils (Balta and Eke 2011).

The new value systems, procedures and concepts brought to the era by global-

ization, privatization and neoliberalism affected Turkey as well. Two major reforms

were undertaken in the Turkish planning system in 1984. Besides the classical

municipal administration for cities, metropolitan municipalities were established

responsible for larger cities to plan and control the metropolitan region and the

municipalities in that area, the Metropolitan Planning Offices being joined to the

metropolitan municipalities. Metropolitan planning offices were established in

large cities with the collaboration of both local and central authorities which had

the aim of formulating new policies, models and methods to confront the negative

consequences of metropolitanism. The second major reform was the decentraliza-

tion of several administrative powers including planning. The local authorities were

now responsible for all the stages of planning practice, several administrative

powers including approval (Balta and Eke 2011).

8 M.Ö. Balta

In Turkey, local municipalities is flexible regulation of urban development. Cities

can be changed by partial plans or planning decisions (Ozuduru and Varol 2009).

This process has led to piecemeal implementation through partial plans and plan

amendments in metropolitan areas.
