As main providers of local services, local governments play crucial roles in development of cities. However, in many countries, local governments are in need of technical and financial support to sustain their activities. To this aim, local government banking system models were established in various parts of the world. These banking systems can take different forms and show variety according to the social, economic and political structure of the countries. Despite all the differences, the main aim of the establishment of all these institutions is to sustain the development of cities in a planned manner. In Turkey, the Bank of Provinces was established as the only institution in charge of providing finance and technical support to local governments. The Bank has also been the sole provider of urban planning as a technical service for many years. By these missions, the Bank has been regarded as an academy for urban planning scholars. Starting from the 1980s, neoliberal policies and structural changes in the planning system have forced the Bank to be transformed. In this process, the Bank has gained the status of a private company and started to perform revenue generation activities. Thanks to its new status, the Bank began to develop profit-oriented urban projects such as mixed-use and residential developments. This thesis aims to understand and evaluate how the Bank’ approach to urban planning and public interest have been changed over time. In this direction, the impacts of this change on urban space and spatial development will be also discussed.

Small entrepreneurs in urban bus public transportation in Ankara: government failure or market failure? Aktepe, Eray; Bayırbağ, Mustafa Kemal; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2019) The presence of small entrepreneurs who fill the urban transport service gap created by local governments, which cannot provide services against the rapidly growing and concentrated population in cities, has revealed a private sector entrepreneurship that has already had priority status since pre-neoliberalism period. The definition of private sector-oriented services introduced by neoliberal policies pursued since the 1980s enabled private sector entrepreneurship to continue to exist. Due to lack of resour...
The Link between station area design and transit usage: the case of Ankara Özgür Cevher, Özge; Babalık, Ela; Department of City and Regional Planning (2014) Investments in rail systems have been increasing throughout the world. This is mainly because public transport is considered to be a sustainable transport mode and the only viable alternative to the car in most urban areas where journeys are too long to be made by non-motorized modes of transport, such as walking and cycling. Amongst public transport modes, urban rail systems are particularly favored by planners since it is believed that rail systems can be effective in attracting car users to public transp...
