ÖZET
Kent ve toplum birbirini tamamlayan temel etmenlerdir. Kentlerde yaşayan insan gruplarının sosyo-ekonomik gelişimleri, kent fonksiyonlarının gelişimini zorunlu kılmaktadır. Dünya genelinde yaşam standartlarının artıyor olması, insanlarda daha iyi bir çevrede yaşama isteğini geliştirmiş ve yaşanabilirlik kavramının ortaya çıkmasında rol oynamıştır. Günümüzde yaşanabilirlik, ulaşım, eğitim, güvenlik, sağlık, çevre kalitesi gibi göstergeler ve bunların altında pek çok sosyo-ekonomik ve kültürel değişken kullanılarak sosyoloji, psikoloji, coğrafya, ulaşım, sağlık bilimleri, vb. birbirinden farklı yaklaşım ve metodolojilere sahip olan sosyal ve mekânsal disiplinler tarafından ele alınan bir konu haline gelmiştir.
Beylikdüzü yakın bir geçmişe kadar İstanbul metropol alanın içerisinde yer alan kentsel donatı ve yerleşim açısından bakir bir alan olmasına karşın 1990’lı yılların sonundan itibaren hızlı bir kentsel gelişim göstermiş, kentin önemli cazibe merkezlerinden biri haline gelmiştir.
