  • Case Study on Holistic Assessment of the Relationship Between City and Square
    Journal of Architecture and Urbanism ISSN 2029-7955 / eISSN 2029-7947 2020 Volume 44 Issue 2: 152–165 https://doi.org/10.3846/jau.2020.11331 CASE STUDY ON HOLISTIC ASSESSMENT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CITY AND SQUARE * Duygu TURGUT Department of Architecture, Erciyes University, Kayseri, Turkey Received 11 October 2019; accepted 13 July 2020 Abstract. While the squares have been in the network of relations with the political, social and religious structure of the soci- ety since the early days of history, today, they have been associated with the cars, speed and technology in the process formed with the modernization movement. In some squares, there are tramways, public transportation routes and stops, and there are also motor vehicles. The squares have turned into places where there is a continuous flow with fast traffic except for waiting at the bus stops and railway station. With this change, our needs also changed, and with the introduction of motor vehicles in our lives, the squares remained as neglected urban spaces in an effort to create a transportation network. The use of the squares belongs to the period in which people have habit of being together, but now squares use belongs to a period in which we are not together even if we are side by side. Within the scope of this study, nowadays, approaches and practices for the squares that is an urban space in the world have been investigated. According to the results of sections, the criteria for evaluat- ing the completeness of the city-square relationship in today’s conditions are set out in a table.

  • The Case Study of Taksim Square
    Sustainable Development and Planning VII 239 The impact of information technology on open urban space: the case study of Taksim square B. Souici Ecole polytechnique d’architecture et d’urbanisme, EPAU, Algieria Abstract For centuries, city centres have provided liveability for much of urban life: shopping, civic activities, leisure, or simply for meeting and mixing. Today, city centers face real challenges; they must respond to the changing needs and demands of modern-day living; squares need to prosper in order to survive. They must compete effectively with the advances in the means of technological communication. They have always faced a degree of competition throughout their historical past, but in the last ten years the competition has increased markedly. Each square has a distinctive shape and personality. That is what makes them so rewarding to experience and so difficult to create. Vintage squares remind us of an era when good design was instinctive, and cities had a rich street life. People have always enjoyed coming together; even though this task can be accomplished by means of virtual space, the need for verbal and physical contact remains primordial and necessary. Networks, deliver information whenever and wherever people desire and allow to perform many activities without moving in the space; banking, bill-paying, shopping. Gathering places are no longer attractive; public life seems to be slipping away along with public open spaces. Dematerialization, decentralization and demobilization are factors which result from information technology use. A new urban strategy has to be implemented, and new directions have to be designed for the vitality of future urban open spaces.

  • Humour As Resistance a Brief Analysis of the Gezi Park Protest
    PROTEST AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS 2 PROTEST AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS David and Toktamış (eds.) In May and June of 2013, an encampment protesting against the privatisation of an historic public space in a commercially vibrant square of Istanbul began as a typical urban social movement for individual rights and freedoms, with no particular political affiliation. Thanks to the brutality of the police and the Turkish Prime Minister’s reactions, the mobilisation soon snowballed into mass opposition to the regime. This volume puts together an excellent collection of field research, qualitative and quantitative data, theoretical approaches and international comparative contributions in order to reveal the significance of the Gezi Protests in Turkish society and contemporary history. It uses a broad spectrum of disciplines, including Political Science, Anthropology, Sociology, Social Psychology, International Relations, and Political Economy. Isabel David is Assistant Professor at the School of Social and Political Sciences, Universidade de Lisboa (University of Lisbon) , Portugal. Her research focuses on Turkish politics, Turkey-EU relations and collective ‘Everywhere Taksim’ action. She is currently working on an article on AKP rule for the Journal of Contemporary European Studies. Kumru F. Toktamış, PhD, is an Adjunct Associate Professor at the Depart- ment of Social Sciences and Cultural Studies of Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY. Her research focuses on State Formation, Nationalism, Ethnicity and Collective Action. In 2014, she published a book chapter on ‘Tribes and Democratization/De-Democratization in Libya’.

  • 3 Days in Istanbul. the Mindless Travel Guides Where to Stay In
    3 Days in Istanbul. The Mindless Travel Guides Istanbul is an exciting, hectic place full of color and life. We finally made it there earlier this year and spent 7 days. For the sakes of this guide however I’ve compiled the highlights and built them around a 3 day itinerary. Get ready because I’m packing a lot of stuff into these 3 days. And because this is a “Mindless Guide“ I’ve planned it all out for you: the itinerary, where to stay, where to eat, how to get around… Note: At the bottom on this post I have a PDF version of this guide. Print it out and you have everything you need. Where to Stay in Istanbul There’s no doubt that the best area to stay in is Sultanahmet. Here you are in walking distance to all the major sites. High end: Ajwa Hotel Sultanahmet and Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at Sultanahmet. Med-range price but excellent value: Yılsam Sultanahmet Hotel and The Magnaura Palace Hotel. If you can’t stay in Sultanahmet (which is more expensive than other parts of the city) then stay somewhere along the T1 tram line. The tram is great and you’ll get to the center quickly. Suggestions: Hanna Hotel, Golden Taha Hotel, Istasyon Hotel (which has great views from the terrace). All are excellent value. Above: Main highlights in Istanbul Day 1. Seeing the Sights in Sultanahmet (the old center) 1. Hagia Sophia 2. Blue Mosque 3. Basilica Cistern 4. Topkapi Palace 5. The Hippodrome The above are Istanbul’s most famous sights and all are located in Istanbul’s old center, Sultanahmet.

  • AS URBAN REALITY the Making of Ankara Alev Çınar
    7 THE IMAGINED COMMUNITY AS URBAN REALITY The Making of Ankara Alev Çınar The relationship between modernity and the city is no doubt a complex one. Even though urban theory has been exploring this relationship thor- oughly, this investigation has been limited by a Eurocentric conceptualiza- tion of modernity, thereby producing a skewed analysis that takes the Western urban experience as the norm. This limitation is augmented with the complexities and ambiguities arising from the diverse uses of the con- cept of modernity that can take many, sometimes contradictory meanings. For example, a textbook definition takes modernity as a “distinct and unique form of social life” characterized by a cluster of institutions such as the nation-state, capitalist economic order, industrialism, or secular, materialist, rationalist, or individualist cultural values.1 Whereas for William Connolly, modernity is “an epoch in which a set of contending understand- ings of the self, responsibility, knowledge, rationality, nature, freedom, and legitimacy have established sufficient presence to shuffle other possible per- spectives out of active consideration.”2 Yet another understanding is intro- duced by Marshall Berman, who draws attention to the difference between modernism as autonomous artistic and intellectual imperatives and mod- ernization as “a complex of material structures and processes—political, economic, social—which, supposedly, once it has got under way, runs on its own momentum with little or no input from human minds and souls.”3 As these accounts suggest, modernity can have such a wide range of definition so as to include a lifestyle, an epoch, a process, a structure, an intellectual movement, a culture, an economic activity, a value system, or a cluster of institutions.

  • Istanbul Walking Tour Despite Being a Massive, Sprawling City, Home to 20 Odd Million People, It’S Possible to See Most of Istanbul’S Most Famous Attractions in a Day
    Istanbul walking tour Despite being a massive, sprawling city, home to 20 odd million people, it’s possible to see most of Istanbul’s most famous attractions in a day. Starting at Taksim Square join the throngs of people strolling down Istanbul’s elegant Istiklal Avenue. At the end of the street you’ll come to Galata Tower which you can climb for fantastic views of the Golden Horn. Continuing on you’ll cross Galata Bridge, stopping to sample a famous fish sandwich, before arriving atEminönü. From there follow your nose to the bustling Egyptian Spice Bazaar. When you’re done with the Spice Market battle the boisterous shoppers and head up the hill towards Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar – one of the oldest, and largest covered markets in the world. Emerging into the daylight you’ll find yourself in Sultanahmet – Istanbul’s old town – and just a stone’s throw away from The Hippodrome, Basilica Cistern, Blue Mosque, Aya sofya and Topkapi Palace. Rest your feet and cap off your day with a drink on one of the old town’s famous roof-top terraces. Taksim Square A good place to start is in Taksim Square – the massive square in the heart of modern Istanbul and the centre of secular Turkey. The square sits upon the city’s main transport hub -with hundreds of buses, trains and even a funiculaire converging. Above the ground, the square is crowded day and night with hawkers, simit sellers and thousands of tourists and locals alike. In the southwest corner of the square is the Republic Monument – a statue designed by Italian sculptor Pietro Canoniac and – unveiled in 1923 to commemorate the formation of the Turkish Republic.

  • Istanbul's Pasts:Raw Material for Constructing the City's Future
    Istanbul's Pasts:Raw Material for Constructing the City's Future Malte Fuhrmann During the ongoing phase of economic and political globalization, 'global cities', i.e. a select number of perhaps three dozen cities across the world, have emerged as important relay stations for the management, communication and financing of multinational business. This has led to a financial as well as ideological valorization of the cities concerned vis-à-vis the countries and regions they are located in. As these cities grow to produce the lion's share of their country's gross domestic product, attract a considerable percentage of both the white- and blue- collar mobile labour force and experience rapid increases in the prices of immobile property and services, the vision of the city, the self-perception of its inhabitants and the control of the public space gain tremendously in importance. Saskia Sassen has claimed that in such globalized cites a 'centrality of space' evolves 'in the formation of new claims and hence in the constitution of entitlements, notably rights to place, and, at the limit, in the constitution of "citizenship"'.1 In this reading, urban conflicts are not only a continuation of national politics entwined with local grievances, but also a struggle for recognition in the new economic world order. Istanbul has and continues to see its share of conflicts over such entitlements; municipal issues become the object of principal conflicts here. Since it is by far the largest city in the country, as well as the richest, economically and intellectually most productive, and the only one that is seen from outside the country as a 'global city',2 it is both the most important site to occupy in order to have leverage in domestic politics and at the same time the decisive locus from where to determine how Turkey should portray itself to the rest of the world.
