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.

Gür, Aslıhan; Babalık, Ela; Department of City and Regional Planning (2019)
One of the most important policy and action areas in urban transport planning is the improvement of public transport with a view to increase its usage. Public transport is the most effective way of meeting increasing mobility needs in urban areas. It can provide long-distance journeys that may be difficult to travel via walking and biking. In the face of increasing car usage, it also ensures the most efficient use of space (i.e. transport infrastructure) and hence can help relieve congestion, which is a con...

Besides the direct relationship it establishes with the public spaces of the city, the public realm is an intangible concept shaped by how the urbanites develop their comm...
Urbanity reshaped: from an urban design competition to the making of a high-rise central business district at Bayraklı, in İzmir
Soysal, Zeynep; Bilsel, F. Cânâ,; Department of Architecture (2019)
Urban fabric is constantly subjected to planning interventions with large-scale urban development projects that are usually imposed by both local and national governments. Generally, such urban development projects are the reflection of the property-based growth strategies. At the turn of the 21st century, in line with the neoliberal policies put into implementation at the international level, cities have started to compete with each other to attract investment. “City branding” that has become a common prac...
