SMART CITY APPLICATIONS AND THE ROLE OF LANDSCAPE DESIGN IN MASS HOUSING: THE FUTURE OF URBAN LIFE

Year 2025, Volume: 7 Issue: 1, 13 - 20, 30.06.2025

Abstract

The rapid technological advancements of the 21st century have significantly transformed urban governance. Smart city frameworks have introduced innovative solutions in urban planning, mobility, energy management, and sustainability. Beyond technological infrastructure, smart cities also require ecological integration, inclusive design, and sustainable landscape strategies. This study investigates the role of landscape architecture in smart city applications within the context of mass housing developments. Through a comparative case study analysis of the Schoonschip Project in Amsterdam and the Kepez-Santral Urban Transformation Project in Antalya, the research explores how different ecological and technological strategies contribute to environmental performance, livability, and social cohesion. The findings reveal that landscape design plays a central role in the success of smart city initiatives by facilitating rainwater management, climate regulation, and inclusive public space creation. While Schoonschip exemplifies micro-scale, water-based smart systems, Kepez-Santral demonstrates the macro-scale integration of green infrastructure in rapidly urbanizing regions. The study concludes that hybrid approaches combining circular resource management with large-scale ecological planning are essential for the future of mass housing in Türkiye.

AKILLI ŞEHİR UYGULAMALARI VE TOPLU KONUTLARDA PEYZAJ TASARIMININ ROLÜ: KENT YAŞAMININ GELECEĞİ

Abstract

21. Yüzyılda hızlı teknolojik gelişmeler, kentsel yönetim biçimlerini önemli ölçüde dönüştürmüştür. Akıllı şehir çerçeveleri; kentsel planlama, ulaşım, enerji yönetimi ve sürdürülebilirlik alanlarında yenilikçi çözümler sunmaktadır. Ancak akıllı şehirler yalnızca teknolojik altyapıyla sınırlı kalmamalı; ekolojik bütünlük, kapsayıcı tasarım ve sürdürülebilir peyzaj stratejilerini de içermelidir. Bu çalışma, toplu konut gelişmeleri bağlamında akıllı şehir uygulamalarında peyzaj mimarlığının rolünü araştırmaktadır. Amsterdam’daki Schoonschip Projesi ile Antalya’daki Kepez-Santral Kentsel Dönüşüm Projesi'nin karşılaştırmalı vaka çalışması yoluyla analiz edildiği araştırmada, farklı ekolojik ve teknolojik stratejilerin çevresel performans, yaşanabilirlik ve toplumsal bütünleşmeye katkısı ele alınmıştır. Bulgular, yağmur suyu yönetimi, iklim düzenlemesi ve kapsayıcı kamusal alanların oluşturulması gibi unsurlarda peyzaj tasarımının akıllı şehir projelerinin başarısında merkezi bir rol oynadığını ortaya koymaktadır. Schoonschip mikro ölçekte, su temelli akıllı sistemleriyle öne çıkarken; Kepez-Santral, hızla kentleşen bölgelerde yeşil altyapının makro düzeyde entegrasyonuna örnek teşkil etmektedir. Çalışma, Türkiye’deki geleceğin toplu konut projeleri için döngüsel kaynak yönetimiyle büyük ölçekli ekolojik planlamayı birleştiren hibrit yaklaşımların gerekliliğini vurgulamaktadır.
