But today with creation of industrial comple~es and lack of proper planning, it not only has its past glory and beauty but also faces severe. environmental pollution but. . Unfortunately, in recent years, Isfahan, with all these advantages is developing thoroughfares, streets and highways in accordance with a outomobile oriented function and has paid less attention to pedestrian places, bike paths and green rouds.Of course, Isfahan urban management efforts in promoting cycling shoud not be avoided because, in recent years, promoting cycling in Isfahanhas been considered seriously to the extent of increasing bike stops three times as much as now.
