1960’LI YILLARDA İZMİR’DE ALTYAPI HİZMETLERİ

Abstract

1960’lı yıllar İzmir’in yeniden yapılandığı ve mekânsal anlamda kabuk değiştirdiği yıllardı. Kentin bütününde yol çalışmaları başlamış, İzmir sokaklarında baştan sonra asfaltlama faaliyeti içine girilmişti. Sanayileşme, köyden kente göç olgusu, gecekondulaşma ve bütün bunların beraberinde gelen nüfus artışıyla birlikte altyapı hizmetlerinin yetersizliği de açıkça ortaya çıkmıştı. Bu makalede, dönemin alt yapı hizmetlerinden bahsedilmekte ve konu İzmir merkez ile sınırlı tutulmaktadır. Su, elektrik, kanalizasyon, havagazı, yol ve posta hizmetlerinin mevcut durumları ve yetersizlikleri gözler önüne serilmektedir.
