In 2030, population of the world is expected to become aorund
8,5 billion. As the population of the world increases, the urbanization
rate rises. According to researches, 6 out of 10 people live in cities
which means more than 50% of people reside in cities. The increase in
urbanization also causes a significant increase in demand for urban
infrastructure. In this context, the greatest increase in demand is experienced
in the demand for mobility. However, due to the enormous
financial benefits that transportation brings while also having an impact
on environmental systems, as a result the relationship between
transportation and environment can be considered as paradoxical.
Within the scope of this study, the energy need, the type of fuel used
in transportation and the damage caused by fossil fuels to the enviornment,
traffic congestion related fuel consumption and the time spent in
traffic, the effect of transportation on global climate change (especially
due to greenhouse gas emissions), transportation-related harmful
gas emission and its effects on air quality in cities and traffic-related
noise emissions on public health were evaluated. As a result, it can be
said that if environmental sustainability in transportation cannot be
achieved, an unlighted future awaits us and next generations.
