The document discusses how traditional cities were planned based on walking distances and non-motorized transportation systems. The growth of settlements followed extensions of transit nodes and their evolutionary expansion within the urban structure. The scale of distances were primarily based on walking. There was a strict hierarchy of street networks depending on accessibility needs and population distribution scales. Mobility networks were graded based on distances between important nodes, and urban morphology was organic in nature, balancing density and mobility needs. Transportation modes were controlled by human actions and never conflicted with primary human mobility rights. Advances in mechanized transportation later shifted traditional urban structures based on adopted modes and city scales.

- 8. Traditional cities were planned considering the mobility based on walking distances and non motorized transport systems The growth of settlements followed the extensions of transit nodes and their evolutionary expansion within the urban structure The scale of distances were primarily based on walking There was a strict hierarchy of street network depending on the need for accessibility and scale of population distribution This mobility network was graded depending on their distance between important nodes and the urban morphology was organic in nature retaining the balance between the density and the mobility needs The modes of transport were controlled by human actions and never were in conflict with the primary right of human mobility The advancements in mechanized transport provided a shift in traditional urban structures depending on the modes adopted and the scale of cities
