Diyarbakır urban transportation and infrastructure planning

Overview

The Diyarbakır Metropolitan Municipality and Dicle University have been working to optimize the city’s public transport system through a joint study involving data analysis and modeling across several districts. This project, which aims to improve accessibility and shorten travel times, reached its final stage with the preparation of a draft report for municipal submission.

Concurrently, the city faces significant traffic congestion driven by problematic intersections, inefficient public transportation, and a lack of service roads for high-traffic areas like bus terminals and shopping malls. Experts from the Chamber of City Planners Diyarbakır Branch have noted that road and intersection adjustments alone are insufficient, advocating instead for a holistic, data-driven plan that prioritizes pedestrians and public transit.
