Reducing the opportunity for private car traffic
Implementation of TOD based program Transport General and reducing the opportunity for urban vehicle traffic. It seems with implementation It was In some squares or passages and narrowing the arena for space Car-centricIt gives more opportunities for citizens to walk. Creating such a space with easy access to Public transport It is one of the policies of Tehran Municipality, which is now welcomed by the Article 5 Commission. Among the 5 fields that will be prepared for organizing, apparently, El-Enghelab Square has many features for the implementation of the TOD program.. From a long time ago city council And municipality It was discussed that Revolution Square has a high potential for pedestrianization. The walls that exist on El-Ghelab Street and the area of El-Ghelab Square are very active and create the potential that if a series of pedestrian measures are taken, it will give results.. The public transportation system on El-Ghebanal Street and in general on Azadi Street seems to be a very complete system, because it has subway and buses..
Okhtiyeh Square is located in District 3 of Tehran, between Pasdaran Street and Kamran Street. According to some experts, the optional square has many possibilities to change from car-oriented to pedestrian-oriented. Access to subway And the bus It exists in this area, and due to the presence of commercial centers, it seems that the ground is available for the implementation of TOD program here as well..
At the end of the twentieth century, Car-centric And Low quality of living in cities, leading to the intensification of a phenomenon called “Scattering” And “suburbanism” became. From 1980 onwards, in response to fragmentation and the resulting costs, new approaches were proposed in the world, the main foundation of all of them. “sustainability” is. Approaches like Rustahare، Smart urban growth، Middleware development، Energy efficiency And finally neo-urbanismAll of them were looking for a solution to overcome the problems of the existing cities. Finally, in the 1990s, the most evolved approach Urban planning Under the title TOD_ Transit Oriented Development
proposed that officially in 1993 as one of the subsets of the approach neo-urbanism In the first congress neo-urbanism was introduced. Unfortunately, this is a misconception among many people and sometimes even those who urban area are busy, there is that TOD It is simply a process of construction and increasing the density around the stations Public transport they imagine. The concept of station complexes is also based on such a perception TOD is formed.
when Peter Culthorpe introduced this approach for the first time, from the title Pedestrian clusters (Pedestrian pocket) used. Culthorpe sought to create pedestrian areas where residents could meet their basic needs without Inner city travel provide. A pedestrian zone includes many features, including the mixing of uses, compactness, and relative density. (compared to other parts of the city) and access to multiple options Transport pointed out. In a pedestrian area, most of the people are working in the same area, access to Green and open spaces، Educational services And treatment is available on foot for most of the residents, and in general, people are able to meet most of their daily needs within the walking area..
Recently, one of the issues of interest City managers placed Organizing urban spaces and create Pedestrian squares in the city is. As it becomes difficult to travel with carPeople's motivation to use it decreases. for years in Urban management To solve the traffic problem, bridges, underpasses, highways and parking lots have been built, which unfortunately, with this approach, are encouraging people to use car we are But you have to go to Pedestrian-oriented let's move.
