3. Introduction
What is Ribbon Development :
“Ribbon development is the spreading of urban functions
through an accessible road by the effect of urban and
industrial dynamics.”

4. 4
A system of buildings built side by side along a highway.
Like locating industries, repair shop, petrol pumps with
direct access to the highways.
Ribbon Development Along With Highway

5. History of Ribbon Development
Such development generated great concern in the UK during
the 1920s and the 1930s as well as in numerous other
countries.

Ribbon Development In United State Of America

6. Causes Of Ribbon Development

1. Technology and urban development
Technological developments in transportation
2. Congestion in city centres
3. Public regulation

7. Problems caused By Ribbon
Development
1. Uneconomic Extension Of Utilities
Ribbon development is usually accepted as being costly to
the society.
Such development could be qualified as the waste of the
national sources especially in undeveloped or developing
countries.
Poor administration or the absence of public administration
produce costs more.

Development
2. Loss Of Agricultural Lands
A new road attract the urban functions around itself. And if it
is constructed on rich agricultural lands, the loses will be
more than it is supposed before construction.
Ribbon development causes to loss in agricultural products
also by damaging the compactness of agricultural lands. So
the success of agriculture decreases gradually against ribbon
development.

9. Problems caused By Ribbon
Development
3. Decrease In The Capacity Of Roads
By the increasing of car ownership in the cities and suburban
areas, much of the streets and highway systems have become
obsolete in design, inadequate in capacity and inefficient in
operation.

10. Problems caused By Ribbon
Development
4. Damage In Scenic Quality
Another cost of ribbon development is damage of scenic
quality
It is generally occurred as an anaesthetic and unsightly
development that damaged the scenic quality.
Because of its being unplanned, thus uncontrolled and of
course unwanted development process there is no order or an
architectural quality.

11. Problems caused By Ribbon
Development
5. Environmental And Socio-cultural Damages
Uncontrolled and unplanned ribbon developments that destroy
the agricultural lands, tree-plantings, natural structure of the
lands (surface water route, topography, permeability) have
forced the planners to develop strategic plans through
sustainability and ecological planning.
By ribbon development the communication between rural and
urban areas increases. New sectors such as industry and services
appears on rural lands and many people begin to settle in the
villages. There may have some social conflicts between the old
and new inhabitants can be appeared.

12. Case Study Of Aydin(Turkey)

•Ribbon development in Turkey
• Ribbon development process in Turkey largely depends on
the increase in car ownership and the development of
highway transportation system.
• At the end of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of
the twentieth century railway was the most dominant
transportation system in Turkey.
• After World War II automobiles and highway transportation
had become to take place increasingly in the country agenda
as parallel to abroad.

15. Nazilli is primarily under the influence of the cities of Aydin
and Denizli. The highway which connects Izmir to Denizli and
other eastern cities is passing through the middle of the
existing settlement area of Nazilli.

17. Conclusion
• Action plans should be prepared for the preservation of agricultural lands
which are under the pressure of ribbon developments, urbanisation and
industrialisation.
• Natural characteristics of urban areas locating along the roads should be
planned and preserved against ribbon developments.
• Demands that causes ribbon development and loss of agricultural lands should
not be encouraged by public authorities, in other words planning permissions in
such areas should be prohibited.
• The industrial, commercial and residential lands that allocated by plan
decisions and not constructed yet should be changed into agricultural land uses,
in other words; the agricultural structure of the lands which was destroyed by
plans and uncontrolled ribbon developments should be changed into its original
structure again by plan decisions.
