Historic points
Housing, work, cafés and green space in the same neighbourhood. Mono-functional zoning kills cities.
No empty shopfronts. Ground floors must house active, inviting, outward-facing uses.
Narrow street, wide pavement. People before cars. Traffic-calming measures.
A park within 15 minutes' walk from anywhere. Seating, shade, water.
Specific to Antalya: Hot climate is the biggest difference. A shaded pedestrian route map, awning regulations and a mandatory plane-tree policy are critical. Barcelona's Ramblas and Dubrovnik's narrow stone streets can serve as models.
Lighting standards and night-time visibility. Social surveillance that keeps people outdoors.
