He main motivation of the article is to illuminate the contemporary Finnish urbanism by means of clarifying the prominent physical planning and design preferences, discourses and principles in practice. Through such an exposition, we try to learn from Finnish urban experience and reach some generalizations in terms of universal planning and design principles, which can especially be applicable in the Turkish urban context. While doing it, we refer the historical background of the urbanization process in Finland as an original case in Europe. Since Finland represents a quite different profile socially, politically and economically as a Nordic country in the European Union; it is worth (re)considering the Finnish mode of thinking on ‘urbanism’. Behind the stylistic and refined urban space structure in Finnish cities, there is this unique [suomalainen] paradigm of urbanism, which is not considered as a solely quantitative issue but primarily as a qualitative one. There is no doubt that, such a perspective is not a ready-made professionally created end-product in Finnish case, rather it is a result of a socio-historically constructed ideology on urban space, which has evolved only through the last century. Before, discussing about today’s urban agenda in Finland, an overall profile on Finnish urbanism will be given. Then, the institutional framework of Finnish urban planning system will be evaluated regarding the main principles during the process of space production and transformation. Finally, an overview of the national urbanization strategies will be carried on via the major urban projects in Helsinki, the capital.

The pattern and process of urban social exclusion in İstanbul Çelik, Özlem; Rittersberger Tılıç, Helga İda; Department of Sociology (2008) The main aim of the thesis is to analyse the recent socio-spatial patterns of Istanbul, in which squatter areas on publicly-owned land (gecekondu) and old historical centre of the city are subjected to regeneration projects, under the impact of making Istanbul a “purified” place for the significant social classes via exclusion of the “others”. The formulations of Henri Lefebvre for analysing the production of (social) space are used as the conceptual framework of the thesis. To reveal the case study, the re...
A case study of Gipsy / Roma identity construction in Edirne Ceyhan, Selin; Kalaycıoğlu, Hediye Sibel; Department of Sociology (2003) The aim of this thesis is to argue about a Gypsy/Roma community̕s identity construction from the point of view of classical literature on ethnicity, class and gender dimensions in the symbolic identity construction in the case of Turkey. In this regard, it is important to examine whether this community benefits from citizenship rights. For this purpose, Edirne is chosen as a sample of Turkey because majority of Gypsy/Roma population lives in and this border city into which migrations took place from Bulgari...
Urban transformation of a socialist city: a case study of East Berlin - Alexanderplatz Eriç, Dilra Nazlı; Sargın, Güven Arif; Department of Architecture (2008) This thesis examines the role of politics in transformation of urban spaces. In this regard, the main focus is Berlin because the city represents how politics of each era is effective in urban development processes: Once a divided city after the World War II where Berlin manifested both parties’ ideological sentience and related urban strategies, the city soon came under successive transformations in accordance with the expectations of the new regime upon its re-unification. In this framework, by studying t...
Heterotopic practice of space: taksim gezi park revisited Işıklılar, Damla; Barlas, Mehmet Adnan; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2016) The primary aim of this thesis is the exploration of the term “heterotopia” coined by Foucault, in an urban design framework. With this aim, this thesis will trace the spatial urban usage and will demonstrate by exemplifications; how an open ended concept can be applied in an urban space, albeit there are no strict definitions, descriptions and directions in the related literature about how heterotopic thoughts can actually be injected to an urban space. In postmodern urban life, many different cases can be...
Production of urban space in the southwestern periphery of Ankara Acar Özler, Özgül; Uzun, Cemile Nil; Department of City and Regional Planning (2012) The aim of this thesis is to explain the production of urban space at the southwestern periphery of Ankara between 1985 and 2007. It has been argued that urban development is not a self-regulatory process; on contrary it is a process produced by urban planning practice. In this respect this thesis asks how and what extent urban planning produces particular urban pattern at the peripheral areas. The southwestern periphery is taken into account as a field of case study due to the peculiar development dynamics...
