Urban Readings - A Gift to the 100th Anniversary of the Republic of Turkey

Over the past fifty years, cities have grown, transformed, become homogenized, and fragmented at a pace that exceeds the human scale. These developments have brought problems such as poverty, deprivation, and injustice for large segments of the population living in cities. It is now a matter of debate whether cities represent freedom or are places of oppression and hardship.

In such a period, reflecting on the city is more important than ever. In this book, the city and urban processes are evaluated together with historical, social, political, administrative, and economic changes, and approached with a comprehensive perspective.

Urban Readings aims to contribute to the literature while also seeking to reach a wide readership and contribute to the development of different perspectives.
