| description | Ankara, which is nowadays subject to criticism and debate due to large-scale changes in daily and spatial life, also witnessed considerable changes in the aftermath of the establishment of the Turkish Republic. Obviously, the reasons for these latter changes were based on the demand that the city and its dwellers have “modern spaces” in which to experience “a modern life”. New activities made available by such modernization attempts not only altered daily life routines in Ankara but also rapidly changed the face of the city through the construction of new spaces to accommodate these activities.
This article delves into the changes that occured in Ankara at this time, with particular focus on the spaces which have retained their significance in the public perception, as well as on these newly emerging activities in daily life. It also proposes a reading of the life and spaces of the Republican period touching upon the institutional structures which were established during its construction. |
