The Invented City: Ankara

Invented City: Ankara, which narrates Ankara's physical and discursive construction processes by accompanying the stories of institutions and people, is a polyphonic and colorful work created with the contributions of researchers and writers looking at the city in the middle of the steppe from different fields of interest, disciplines, and perspectives.

The writings enter both homes and schools... Sometimes people shout in the stands, sometimes they light candles in tombs, and sometimes they visit cinemas... From ancient times to the present day, Ankara is examined with its institutions, climate, architectural forms, lifestyles, cultural and artistic heritage, official and civil architecture, traditions, belief systems, sporting events, and important personalities. Novels, memoirs, and poems featuring Ankara are not neglected...

Invented City: Ankara takes the reader by the hand and guides them on a comprehensive tour of the capital, from the past to the present, sometimes with a gentle touch, and sometimes with its stern character...
