Traditionally the cities have evolved incrementally, but the modern approach to urbanism created a rupture in this evolution process by idealizing the holistic creation of a new urban utopia and, in most cases, disregarding the existing urban context and history. Due to the new typologies introduced by the modern architecture and urban design policies, a controversial relationship morphologically arises between the modern and traditional fabrics. This can be observed best in the urban peripheries where the modern developments meet with the traditional urban fabric. Then the so-called in-between fields and fabrics represent the condition of “urban collision”. Those areas generally function as a buffer and maintain a balance between the two different urban orders. They could provide either cohesion or fragmentation within the whole (new and old) urban fabric. Sufficient literature is available on distinguishing the typologies of the modern and the traditional architecture and urbanism, but little research has been conducted on recognizing the spatial configurations between such dichotomies. This thesis aims at developing a conceptual framework for identifying the fields of urban collision and categorizing it in accordance with its relationship with the old and the new patterns of development. This framework following a morphological review of the VI world cities that accommodate such a close spatial encounter called ‗urban collision‘ further gives a detail insight. The research then morphologically examines the built form of the capital city of Islamabad and the traditional city of Rawalpindi along with other traditional villages around the modern city. Emergence of the collision areas is discussed regarding their social and economic implications. Accordingly, the modernist planning experience of Islamabad is assessed in consideration of the conception of urban collision.

Urban coherence: a morphological definition
Çalışkan, Olgu (2017-10-01)
Despite being one of the most commonly used normative concepts in urban design, coherence still lacks a firm morphological definition. Without an explicit specification of its spatial attributes, coherence remains a vague and subjective notion of design implicitly referred to as one of the basic properties of good urban form. As a contribution to the link between urban design and morphology, this paper renders the normative concept objectively in terms of a set of quantifiable morphological indicators. Spat...
Agriculture in urban areas as a socio-economic and townscape value : the case of Rize
Üstoğlu, Deniz; Günay, Baykan; Department of City and Regional Planning (2012)
Rapid urbanization, which is one of the major problems of contemporary era, created cities as the major destroying centers of nature and ecology by human beings. In this respect, urban agriculture takes place in urban areas as a new way to meet nature and urban for improving the quality of life in the last decades. Despite the belief that agricultural activities always take place in rural areas, agriculture in urban areas would provide citizens many opportunities in terms of social, economic and environment...
Deindustrialization under the impact of globalization: the case of Istanbul
Ak, Bahriye; Eraydın, Ayda; Department of City and Regional Planning (2008)
In the two last decades, the cities were within the transformation period of their economic and spatial structure in order to be adapted to competitive global system. In addition, the decrease of industry sector and its decentralization to outer city, increase of service sector with the help of technological developments and its centralization are the core assets of the globalization. In compatible with the socio-spatial and economical aspects of globalization phenomenon, the structural transformation of in...
Assessing the sustainability of urban agriculture: the case of Çankaya municipality
Doğan, Şeyma Başak; Kayasü, Serap; Department of City and Regional Planning (2022-1-14)
Agriculture, as the basic economic activity carried out inside the city, has had both economic and social meaning for people since ancient times. However, industrialization caused an increase in the priority of non-agricultural activities in cities. As a result, agricultural activities had lost their importance inside cities, and were becoming mostly related to a rural context. Although agriculture is generally associated with a rural context, the economic, social, and environmental problems originated by r...
Planning with complexity: The analysis of İzmir Uzundere urban transformation project through the advocacy coalition framework
Demirel Şanlı, Şule; Yetişkul Şenbil, Emine; Department of City and Regional Planning (2023-1-19)
Today, cities are defined as dynamic, non-linear, open, and complex systems that can adapt themselves according to various situations and formations and develop continuously in this direction. Planning is about a world-changing from basic and direct interactions to highly complex situations towards the fuzzy middle between technical rationality and communicative rationality; hence, it has begun to be questioned in the presence of complexity theory. With intensifying neoliberal policies after 2000, Turkey’s ...
