Public works constitute the main element of urbanization. The period of time when the understanding of Assyrian urbanism was best understood was the imperial period when the New Assyrian kings carried out extensive construction projects. During this period, three big capitals were built in Nimrud, Khorsabad and Koyuncuk. The plans of these cities are not accidental. Before the cities were built, all the needs of the city were planned such as palaces, temples, roads, bridges, parking areas and irrigation system. In this study, we examined the public works in three capitals built by the New Assyrian kings. We have tried to identify parks and gardens, water system of cities, road network and bridges with the information we obtained from archaeological findings and cuneiform written documents.

Bayındırlık faaliyetleri şehirleşmenin temel unsurunu oluşturmaktadır. Asur şehircilik anlayışının en iyi görüldüğü zaman dilimi, Yeni Asur krallarının geniş inşaat projeleri gerçekleştirdiği imparatorluk dönemidir. Bu dönemde Nimrud, Khorsabad ve Koyuncuk’ta üç büyük başkent inşa edilmiştir. Söz konusu kentlerin planları rastlantısal değildir. Şehirler inşa edilmeden önce saraylar, tapınaklar, yollar, köprüler, park alanları ve sulama sistemi gibi kentin bütün ihtiyaçları planlanmıştır. Bu çalışmamızda Yeni Asur krallarının inşa ettirmiş olduğu üç başkentte gerçekleştirilen bayındırlık faaliyetlerini inceledik. Arkeolojik bulgular ile çivi yazılı belgelerden elde etmiş olduğumuz bilgilerle parklar ve bahçeleri, şehirlerin su sistemini, yol ağını ve köprüleri belirlemeye çalıştık.
