URBAN AND REGIONAL PLANNING DEPARTMENT

It aims to train city and regional planners who plan livable settlements, are creative, innovative, have professional ethics and values, believe in the priority of public interest, respect nature and cultural heritage, and can use technology.

Founded in 2008, the Department of City and Regional Planning has not yet started undergraduate education. In order to start education and training in the department as soon as possible, efforts are underway to create the necessary academic staff and to improve the technical infrastructure. 

FIELDS OF STUDY

Urban and Regional Planning, in the most general sense, aims to ensure that all kinds of spatial development in urban and rural areas, from the country and regional level to the local scale, are shaped within the framework of a plan.

APPLICATION AREAS

Urban and Regional Planning is a profession that has a wide range of applications and is guaranteed by the Zoning Legislation in our country. Both public and private sectors employ City and Regional Planners. Municipalities, Special Provincial Administrations, SPO, Development Agencies and all ministries that make decisions on land use need Urban Planners. Free Planning Offices operating commercially and the real estate sector (construction, real estate, banking, investment firms, etc.) are another field of work.
