Urban Identity and Cultural Change of Ankara Before and After the Proclamation of Republic
Abstract
Planned development of Ankara begins in republic period. An international competition was organized for the city's development plan in 1927, and Prof. Dr. Hermann Jansen’s plan won. Unfortunately, the plan wasn’t kept loyal in the following years; morphological deteriorations started to be observed in the city. In this paper, physical changes appeared so far have examined, structural and open spaces’ evolutions of the historical city have highlighted. Parks and gardens demonstrating adverse changes in both structural and plant design have explained via examples that they lost their identity so far. To halt this negative change, it is crucial to develop new policies to solve the problems by defining them well, to produce new regulations or to strengthen existing ones that respect the historic urban landscapes and cultural assets of the city, to solidify sanctions on this issue and create an impartial judicial unit against crimes committed to the city.
