(City Planning)
The Department of Urbanism plays an undeniable role in our planning education with its compulsory + elective courses, especially studio studies carried out at different scales and scopes. Within the Department, being aware of the necessity of interdisciplinary interaction, theoretical and applied studies/researches on existing and up-to-date issues in the field of planning and urbanism are carried out. Being aware of the importance of training planners with high levels of analysis and interpretation and advanced expression techniques, the Department organizes studio works and course contents to achieve this goal. It also continues its studies with a total of ten faculty members, seven of whom have PhD degrees.
