Turkiye - Ankara: The Planning and Building of a Republican Modern Capital City

"With its built environment planned and designed from the 1920s to the 1970s, Ankara is an outstanding example of modern capitals of the 20th century, whose modernist urban layout and architectural heritage represent the new Republic of Türkiye, and still define the identity of the city. Approaching its centennial as the capital of the Republic of Türkiye in 2023, Ankara continues to acquire the integrity of its authentic modern identity that is witnessed in the still-existing public buildings of the new state, and the public parks and squares for the new society, constructed at Ulus and Kızılay districts and especially along Atatürk Boulevard as the main and now historical urban sites of the city.
