The main navigation arteries in the project area, which will be inhabited
by about 40.000 people, are allocated for pedestrians only, and as shown in
Figure 5, the uses in the area are designed in such a way that all services
are within 500m walking distance. The NAR Project area consists of parallel
pedestrian, bike, and vehicle lanes with 50m distance to each other (Figure
6). According to the 1/5000-scale Master Plan, the main artery crossing the
project area in the Northeastern-Southeastern axis is designed to have
a connection to a cloverleaf interchange on Ataturk Boulevard. The NAR
Innovation District aims carbon neutrality by 2030. For this reason, the vehicle
traffic in the NAR project area is restricted to first conventional and later to
autonomous electric vehicles only. Moreover, the project area is designed to
provide test infrastructure for autonomous vehicles.
