The paper claims that a more comprehensive outlook is necessary for a city that would accord participation a central role and introduces into the discussion the concept of the right to the city. In the light of experience gained from the work on the ground, we inquire into how the concept of the right to the city can be filled with substance and how it can be used as an instrument rather than making it an end in itself. The paper highlights the importance, in work to be carried out in cities, of not neglecting the relationship between the city and the accumulation of capital and of carrying out struggles for an alternative to the present order rather than simply for preserving what already exists.

Unfinishedness of place and the place-making project
Rangraz, Sina; Barlas, Mehmet Adnan; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2018)
Since the emergence of the profession of urban design in the mid-20th century, the concept of “place” has played a significant role in the development of the surrounding discourse. However, this turn within the profession pertained to a degree of confusion when it comes to the rhetoric of placelessness and the associated place-making agenda. By not being exactly in opposition with that endeavor, this thesis attempts to suggest an alternative understanding of place through the concept of “unfinishedness of p...

The concept of smart cities is becoming another mantra for both developing and developed cities.

Urban compactness : a study of Ankara urban form
Çalışkan, Olgu; Günay, Baykan; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2003)
Sustainable urban development is mentioned together with the concept of urban form in contemporary planning literature. The main reason behind this is a need for determining an ideal physical development scheme and its main principles of urban future in a broad term. Besides, the operational side of urban planning requires a concrete set of design codes in order to transform urban space in both macro and mezzo scale. At this point, the concept of urban compactness and the idea of Compact City have come into...
