2. WHAT DOES
‘SUBURBANIZATION’
MEANS?
It is the expansion and
development of the
cities towards the outer
areas with the
expansion of the
activities in the city
center towards the
environment with the
intense population
pressure.
3. *With the decline of city planning
functions of the state and giving up
this function to a large extent to the
private sector, the city and its
surroundings have begun to take a new
form. The new form is a rapid spread of
suburbanization (gated communities,
villas,) and sprawl.
* Historically, it was believed that living
in highly urban areas resulted in social
isolation, disorganization and
psychological problems, while living in
the suburbs was supposed to be better
to overall happiness, due to lower
population density, lower crime, and a
more stable population.
4. Suburbanization
Reasons
* City population grew much fast.
*People want to escape from city noise
and city pollution.
*Railway and highway network
development.
*More people had a vehicle.
*People want more natural living spaces
that cities dont have.
*Transportation systems developed.
5. Suburbanization
Results
*The days of industry
dominating the urban
cores of cities are
diminishing as population
decent ralization of urban
centers increases.
* With the growth of
suburbanization and the
spread of people living
outside the city this can
cause negative impacts on
environment.

7. Suburbanization of ‘Ankara’
*Historically Big migration was began from
rural areas to urban areas at Ankara in 1950s.
As a result of this housing problem was be at
metropolitan cities. Slums in the city’s outer
areas were built.This neighborhood was near
city center. As a result of this security
environment lost in the city. High income
groups moved subur to areas. Ankara in
began suburbanization in 1990s . The
transition to neoliberal economic policy in
those years supported this situation.
*First neighborhoods were built at ‘Batıkent’.
Also Turkey’s first satellite town is Batıkent
32. I Think
Suburbanization is in fact a bad thing for the city. Because :
Rapid suburbanization causes urban decay to ocur. So cities
become more insecure. Also, suburbanization harms the urban
economy. However, environmental pollution is increasing and
agricultural areas are becoming urban spaces.
As a result I think suburbanization is not good for urban areas and
rural areas.
