ABSTRACT

Secondly, Modernist way of urban expansion, which is represented by zoning (the division of urban land according to their presupposed functions), residential neighborhoods, and boulevards designated to automobiles, impair the wholesomeness, which can only be found in traditional cities. Moreover, the fact that most of the citizens dwell in the suburban area yet work at downtown increases their commuting distances, causes traffic congestion, and ultimately leads to their lack of time for social activities.
