Today, with the rapid growth of urbanization, collective life has become difficult. Action resulting from wrong practices is a problem not only for people with disabilities, but also for people without disabilities. There are children, young people, adults and old people in the city. These individuals can spend at least one moment of their life with disability. One of the important indicators of the health of the city is the quality of life and health of the people. For this reason, human-oriented design of the city is an inevitable requirement. In order to meet these requirements, the concept of ergonomics emerges. In order to create ergonomically appropriate and healthy designs, the aim of this study is to express the place of the development of the concept of ergonomics in architecture in the historical process and to determine the design criteria in urban ergonomics. In this study, which is a qualitative research, literature review and document review
were used. As a result of the study, the development process of ergonomics in architecture and the point it has reached are explained. Considering the needs of people and cities together, design criteria for urban ergonomics were tried to be determined.
