Abstract
The urban transport network system represents at the present time an important and vital part of the uses of the city’s land and its vital facilities, it is one of the factors that lead to increased linkage and interaction between places. With reference to the importance of the streets within the city, the streets were classified functionally, i.e. according to the function occupied by the facades overlooking them or the dominant use of the buildings that occupy their sides and the city streets perform different functions. Despite the importance of the function performed by the sides of the streets, the most important of them is the movement of the passage of vehicles and pedestrians, where the streets acquire the same function performed by the city center and the residential shops that link them or extend in them to include the commercial function, the residential function, the industrial function and the recreational function. On the basis of the classification of the street network in the city of Kirkuk, the study found that streets can be functionally classified into four types, which are (residential, commercial, industrial, and recreational) streets. The study recommends that there be compatibility between the patterns of land use and the transport network so that one use does not grow at the expense of the other.
