Kentler ve Yeni Kentsel Kuramlar: Kentleşmeyi Merkezine Alan Üç Kuram Üzerine

2020-10-01
Today, the majority of the population living in cities is expected to increase with the continuation of urbanization trend in the near future. It is known that the cities of the future will be different from the cities of today. At this point, the importance of the researches about the cities increases. In this article, three recent urbanization approaches, Planetary Urbanization, Postcolonial Urbanization and Assemblage Urbanization will be discussed. The common feature of these three approaches, which have different theoretical thought bases with no delineating lines among them, is that they criticize the ongoing linearities, hierarchies and classifications of cities on urbanization and urbanity. Planetary and Postcolonial Urbanization question urban-rural dilemma and Global North-South or West-East divide, respectively while Assemblage Urbanization examines past-potential, actual-virtual or social-practical. In the article, a general evaluation is carried out by taking criticisms towards these three urban approaches into consideration.

The rapid increase of population and urbanization as well as many other contextual factors has led to the urban decline phenomenon. Under rubrics such as urban transformation, the urban regeneration projects have been one of the widely and frequently utilized approaches, which perpetuated within the recent decades to cope with the phenomenon, and this includes both the developed and the developing countries. However, there always have been different arguments and criticism about the aim and the outputs of t...
Computational Investigation of Urban Heat Island Mitigation Scenarios in Educational Buildings
Yazıcıoğlu, Gülin; Gürsel Dino, İpek; Meral Akgül, Çağla; Department of Architecture (2023-1-11)
Recent years have witnessed rapid urbanization due to an increase in population in cities. This will lead to the replacement of natural landscapes with impervious surfaces, and the acceleration of anthropogenic activities, which will increase waste heat. As a result of this, there is a temperature difference between the city centers and their suburbs, which is commonly referred to as an Urban Heat Island (UHI). As a result of the UHI phenomenon, many negative effects are associated with it, such as increase...
Critical evaluation of smart mobility policies of Konya metropolitan municipality
Nalçakar, Zeyneb Zuhal; Balaban, Osman; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2019)
As population in urban areas increases and problems arise as a consequence, many cities turn to smart city transformation. Some scholars argue that smart cities can provide strong solutions to urban problems. Smart city discourse mainly touches upon six major concepts which cities are required to apply to become a smart city: Smart economy, smart people, smart governance, smart environment, smart living and finally smart mobility based on ICT. The most common issues based upon increasing population is trans...
Developing multi-objective linear programming approaches for traffic signal optimization
Coşkun, Mustafa Murat; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Şener, Cevat; Department of Computer Engineering (2021-7)
In many countries and metropolitan cities, traffic congestion, mainly caused by population growth and the increase in urbanization, has reached a significant level and has become a major problem for residents and decision-makers. Today, although infrastructural strategies such as the construction of underpasses and road widening to alleviate traffic congestion are applied in urban networks, the strategies can also be quite costly and environmentally damaging. Therefore, decision makers allocate large bu...
Reading Vulnerabilities through Urban Planning History: An Earthquake-Prone City, Adapazarı Case from Turkey
ORHAN, Ezgi (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2016)
Agglomeration of urban population, inadequate institutional capacity, unplanned urbanization, dense built environment, and industrial concentration are considered as the main causes of urban vulnerabilities against encountered disturbances. Planning decisions which regulate these factors are expected to make contribution to safer urban and social contexts and resilience of cities. However, in developing countries such as Turkey where disaster management is not an integrated part of urban planning process, p...
