Market-led “economic conjuncture” point of view reduces the social context of urban planning to the estimation of the economic trends. However, the idea of planning, by definition, is pertaining to the long-term arrangements towards production of public goods. Market-led policies based on the “economic conjuncture” point of view, result in acceleration of the urban growth around bigger agglomerations. This contradicts with policies towards even and balanced distribution and use of social and natural resources and towards protecting the natural and historical and cultural assets and urban and regional policies integrated with rural development programs, concomitantly. Under the limitations of the uneven development, planning the cities, can not go beyond, estimation and then arrangement of the regionally uncontrollable migration and urban growth structured according to the rules of the economies of agglomeration. This leads to a certain kind of social alienation in terms of controlling and determining urban development. In this sense, the case of Turkey in 1930s provide the examples of conscious efforts toward policy-oriented and integrated urban and regional development.

Finding sustainable mobility solutions for shrinking cities: the case of Toyama and Kanazawa Balaban, Osman (2021-11-01) Purpose Shrinking population can have significant negative impacts on the social and economic fabric of a city. This paper aims to understand different urban transportation policies to respond to population decline in shrinking cities by examining two case studies of urban interventions in mid-size cities in Japan. Design/methodology/approach The paper analyzes the implementation of sustainable mobility strategies in the urban transport sector in the Japanese cities of Toyama and Kanazawa, which risk having...
Growth control at the urban fringe: planning and policy instruments – the case of Ankara Sınacı, Fulya; Gedikli, Bahar; Department of City and Regional Planning (2016) Urban growth dynamics play an important role in determining the future scenarios of cities and in the shaping of the urban form. Although spatial growth can be considered as an opportunity to provide new living and working places for growing populations, it is arguable whether all decisions aimed at physical growth are compatible with local dynamics. Even if growth is needed, considering the conditions of a locality, it is not always easy to control this growth and prevent it from turning into sprawl. Previ...
Tracing regional differences on the urban space The case of Ankara Büyükcivelek, Ahmet Burak; Şenyel Kürkçüoğlu, Müzeyyen Anıl (null; 2006-09-18) The paper intends to reveal the effects of regional differences on urban space in terms of physical, social and economic characteristics. In this sense, both Turkey itself and its big cities are considerable, due to their internal and external dynamics. To begin with, Turkey is exposed to a regional segregation - relatively more developed western part, and relatively less developed eastern part - for decades. Due to the development differences, there has been an ongoing migration from the east to the big ci...
Increasing walkability in public spaces of city centres: the case of Tunali Hilmi Street, Ankara Ghadimkhani, Parisa; Akkar Ercan, Zübeyde Müge; Department of City and Regional Planning (2011) Liveability and walkability have recently become one of the major policy topics in the agenda of many cities all over the world because of the negative effects of car-oriented urban developments that have impoverished physical, social, cultural, economic and environmental values of cities. In Ankara, however, the urban development policies based on the decentralization of the city centre and inner city, the impoverished public transportation services and infrastructure, the increasing car-dependent developm...
Mechanisms of uneven and combined development: a critical realist approach to the socio-political transformation in Syria and Libya Mengüaslan, Hikmet; Yalvaç, Faruk; Department of International Relations (2020) This thesis discusses the phenomenon of development in the context of the mechanisms of Uneven and Combined Development (U&CD) entailed in the development of world economy. It employs the concept of U&CD instead of development, and brings in the concept of “emergentist development”. It utilizes a historical materialist and Critical Realist (CR) methodology in explaining the mechanisms of U&CD. Accordingly, it scrutinizes the Eurocentric and modernist conceptualizations of development. It argues that the Eur...
