Abstract:

The study has identified the need for the similarity / fractal network in line with the CBD area within the urban fabric in supportive to the smooth transition of the sprawl to an urban fabric. The study also advocates the idea that, when the capability of new construction of roads is limited, a thoroughly designed road systems which defines both the pedestrian as well as vehicular traffic proportionately fills the sprawl space better and improves the accessibility within the area providing a larger transportation capability to serve more people and a better economy. The accessibility in CBD of Sabzevar has increased the conditions for a more balanced modal split by creating a central core and a transport system that more people, regardless of age, gender and socio-economic background, have access towith links to all aspects of sustainability, socially, environmentally and economically, and how mobility can contribute to a more accessible and attractive city life. The outcome obtained for the study is recommended as a blue print for the future development of Sabzevar considering all the issues related to design, planning and management. Sustainability of urban mobility may require changing the way people think about and solve transportation problems with it ultimately shifting its paradigm from the study area of CBD to the entire city of Sabzevar.
