Three residential settlements in Ankara: what strategies for an environment sensitive sustainable urbanization?

2000-07-07
In Turkey, the urban extension that has gained new dimensions takes place in the form of a centrifugial development. The immediate consequences of this development are spatial fragmentation, social segregation and transfiguration of natural environment. In this perspective, three new residential settlements of Ankara -Batikent, Eryaman and Bilkent, created in different contexts and for diverse social groups- are studied with regard to the quality of environment and the question of residential identities. Underlying processes of the production of built environment call into question quality and sustainability of these newly created urban spaces.

On the trajectory of urbanisation in Turkey - An attempt at periodisation
Şengül, Hüseyin Tarık (Liverpool University Press, 2003-05-01)
The main objective of this article is to provide a periodisation of the Turkish urban experience by dividing it into three distinct phases: the urbanisation of the state in the context of nation-state formation; the urbanisation of labour power in the context of rapid migration from rural areas; and finally the urbanisation of capital in the context of globalisation. The article argues that recent trends point to a striking socio-spatial polarisation as well as to fragmentation in the Turkish cities.
