    Urban and Regional Planning in Turkey
    (Springer, 2019) Özdemir, Suna Senem
    This book presents an overview of urban and regional planning in Turkey. It discusses the fundamental topics and contemporary issues in the field. The book is organized in two parts and it includes 14 chapters. Chapter 1 is designed as an introduction defining the framework of urbanisation in Turkey, and the evolution of urban planning providing a background for the remaining chapters. In Part I, contemporary issues of urban and regional planning in Turkey are covered (i.e., new route taken by regional planning, the role of the planner in the process of shaping the urban form of Turkish cities, the specific features of Turkish city centres, large-scale public investments and their effects on urban areas, urban growth of Turkish cities from an urban morphological viewpoint, and problems and recent planning discussions related to the conservation of archaeological heritage). The challenges faced by urban and regional planning in Turkey are discussed in Part II (i.e., major challenges in residential transformation, excess housing production and the future of housing markets, challenges posed by increasing (global) immigration and refugees, challenges due to integration of a resilience thinking framework into the planning systems, development and planning activities of settlements in hazard prone areas, and the current state of climate policy and governance). In the concluding chapter an overall assessment of the contemporary issues and challenges for urban and regional planning in Turkey is made with special emphasis on the last 15 years of the country. Discussions on the case of Turkey could be useful examples both for developed and developing countries.

    Eco-industrial Parks and Sustainability: A Case of Green Organized Industrial Zone from Turkey
    (Cankaya University Press, 2018) Özdemir, Suna Senem
    The concept of sustainable development has been on the agenda since the 1980s. In industrial development, industrial ecology ideas realized the sustainable development goals with Eco-Industrial Parks (EIPs). Drivers and beneficence of EIPs are on competitiveness, economic and social and environmental terms. This paper aims to contribute to the industrial ecology literature by explaining the case of Turkey in developing its EIPs. Notably, as a possible EIP example, İzmir Atatürk Organized Industrial Zone (IAOIZ) is the focus of the paper. IAOIZ shows a case working towards to become and EIPs, but there is still too much to do. At the national level, there is a need for a policy and may be legislation to turn the existing OIZs to EIPs.
