plans for numerous cities and towns were prepared between 1923 and 1940 in
Turkey.

principles. The aims of this study are to clarify the political concepts that were active
in the Early Republican Period, translation of political concepts to spatial context and
to reveal the relation between urban planning experiences and political ideology
between 1923 and 1940 in the Republic of Turkey.
For this reason, this thesis study examines the construction of Republican ideology in
city space via urban planning. The construction of the Republican Revolution in city
space is examined in terms of planning practices and evolution of urbanism. The
