Summary/Abstract: Urbanization and industrialization have positive effects on the socio-cultural and economic structure of a country as well as some negative effects. One of the most important of these negative effects is the negative impact of urbanization and industrialization on the environment and clean air. Since this situation adversely affects a country's sustainable development efforts, it is very important to identify and produce policies to reduce this impact. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of urbanization and industrialization on CO2 emission by using ARDL Bounds Testing Approach and to make policy recommendations according to the analysis results. In the analysis, data for the 1960-2014 period in Turkey were used. According to the analysis results, urbanization and industrialization in Turkey increases the carbon dioxide emissions and that affects clean air negatively. As a result, to avoid disruption to the sustainable development efforts in Turkey, the government should be directed to more environmentally friendly practices in the urbanization and industrialization policies.
