Last lakes and valleys need to preserve as an
ecological system!

Mogan, Eymir Lakes, Cubuk Dam and Imrahor Valley are under the thread of pollution from
highways and urban, industrial wastes

There is a considerable pressure on historic core
![Page 25: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Orchards:
![Page 27: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Valleys, hills of Keçiören, Etlik, Dikmen, Seyranbağlari were firstly invaded by the squatter
houses (gecekondu).
![Page 29: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
after 1983 via improvement plans
![Page 30: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
those areas were opened to high rise development.
![Page 31: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
As a result, the urban green, which had already been destructed by
(build and sell type) of contractors
![Page 32: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

AFTER SQUATTERS : Urban renewal samples from Etlik and Keçiören
![Page 34: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
were wiped away by high rise development in the inner parts of the valleys, which were definitely
not available for settlements.
![Page 35: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Valleys, Rivers and Streams again :
![Page 37: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Many valleys with rivers like Ankara Cayi, Bendderesi, Çubuk
Cayi (Stream) was put underground and
![Page 39: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
was included in the sewer system due to the fact that they had been
formerly used for sewerage.
![Page 40: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Jansen’s design of a swimming pool on the Roman Bend was put
away and forgotten
![Page 41: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Barakalaşma- Shelter housing on the hills of Altındağ, which was once ignored and was not pain
enough attention,
![Page 44: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
![Page 45: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

firstly turned the Bend River into a polluted water stream and then to a
sewer system.
![Page 47: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
In fallowing years the magnificent base of the valley, on
which the Ankara Castle rises,
![Page 48: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
covered by the squatters finally the Bend River Avenue
was constructed on river.
![Page 49: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Having the “Hıdır Tomb” on the Altındağ Hill already annihilated, the beautiful green areas and trees
on the bank of river,
![Page 50: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
which once the place where the Hıdırellez was celebrated, completely destroyed and
disappeared.
![Page 51: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
![Page 52: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
![Page 53: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Orchards Again:
![Page 54: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
The habitants of Angora used to orchards (BAĞLAR)
at higher spots of the city in order to keep themselves from the dusty
and scorching days.
![Page 55: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
plateaus of the south and north of Angora had Etlik, Keciören,
Dikmen, Gaziosmanpasa, Esat orchards.
![Page 56: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
There used to be fabulous orchards houses built by the well-
off habitants of the city.
![Page 57: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
It is plausible to say “used to be” because almost all of them were
demolished, destroyed unfortunately
![Page 58: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
except for the few which are preserved until today and the multi-storey blocks took their
places.
![Page 59: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Except one at Keciören :
![Page 60: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
This house which is now used as Ankara Research Center
![Page 61: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
in Gaziosmanpasa the orchard in the Papazın Bağı, Karlı Street are the ones who survived trough the
time and destruction of master and implementation plans.
![Page 62: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Gecekondu Improvement (!):
![Page 63: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Orchards, in the modern (!) life in which the seasonal migration was forgotten, were firstly covered by squatter housing as if there is no place else for growth in the city.
![Page 64: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
And then in 1980 as if a great invention, the areas were
“improved” by the district municipalities.
![Page 65: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Only seeing the improvement action in the Keçiören would be
enough to astonish you.
![Page 66: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Almost all of the quarter “improved” via constructing 5 to 8
stories of apartment blocks
![Page 67: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
without leaving any area for urban open space, urban green, or public
uses like sports areas or playgrounds.
![Page 68: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Gecekondu (Squatter) renewal (not rehabilitation!)
high rise and high density, destroying all greenery
![Page 69: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
RENEWAL of URBAN & SQUATTER AREAS IN
ANKARA
![Page 70: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Also the Valley of Çubuk Stream, which was once the place where
flower greenhouses and vegetable gardens existed, was “improved”,
![Page 71: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
and the area is fully covered with a huge hypermarket, municipality
buildings,
![Page 72: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
and “Gaudy-like” arabesque-styled apartments that are proof of the development of Turkish
architecture which can compete with Spanish examples.
![Page 73: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Orchards, valleys and rivers of Dikmen and Etlik also were brutally “improved” like the
Keçiören case.
![Page 74: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
“Urban Renewal” (!) in the Yenisehir and housing
cooperative areas:
![Page 75: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
YENİŞEHİR / KIZILAY
![Page 76: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
YENISEHIR / KIZILAY : Destroying the landscape, historic &
cultural and human scale urban spaces
![Page 77: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
The foundation for those inventions was laid in the early 60ies when the Flat Ownership
Law came into force.
![Page 78: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
The first cooperative zones like Bahçelievler, Güvenevler,
Yenimahalle, Or-An, Varlık Mahallesi, Subayevleri etc.,
![Page 79: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
., and almost the whole Kızılay was demolished and
reconstructed, sometimes for twice, in 15-20 years.
![Page 80: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)

This process is called “urban renewal” in the planning
literature; however, the renewal is generally applied to socially
problematic high-rise zones in western societies to create low
density areas.

In spite of this fact, probably because there was no other place left for settlements and in order to protect the lowlands and hills of
Ankara,
![Page 86: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
the renewals at the same quarters over and over seemed to be a
natural process.
![Page 87: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
God knows how many times we encountered never-ending and
continuous electric, water, natural gas and sewerage excavations and asphalting in many places in our
city.
![Page 88: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Of course these constructions, muddy roads, ditches,
excavations, even walking to our houses on wooden bridges had been a funny trip back to my
days in my eastern home village childhood days.
![Page 89: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
It has been way too late when we realize that continuously renewed pavements and
infrastructure has been one of the biggest environmental problems
![Page 90: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
and one of the reasons of the ever-increasing inflation and national
depts.…
![Page 91: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
I have lived most of my life in the Bahçelievler; and I have been
trying to live on between the never ending constructions and
![Page 92: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
continuously renewed infrastructure systems;
![Page 93: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
I have been struggling with ever-increasing population, traffic and
parking problems.
![Page 94: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
It is easy to examine that this process have been going on in
many quarters of the city.
![Page 95: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
The effects of all the destruction of orchards and urban green,
![Page 96: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
how dense the city have gotten owing to construction of multi-storey apartments standing on at least 3-4 times bigger land then
the former structures,
![Page 97: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Prof. Hermann Jansen’s Plan :
BAHCELIEVLER (Garden Houses)
A good example of the destroyed living urban space and environment
![Page 98: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
RESULTS : air pollution, noise and visual pollution
![Page 99: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Air pollution especially in
winters
![Page 100: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
it is not easy to calculate the social and economic problems,
environmental problems, psychological problems caused by
these changes!
![Page 101: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
All these changes have taken place for land owners and
contractors to make huge amounts of profit.
![Page 102: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
The flats are shared between them; however, paying the price
for infrastructure and going trough the process is left to us to
experience!
![Page 103: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
Our national wealth has been wasted on the poor quality
structures that collapse on our people in every earthquake.
![Page 104: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
A modern, and planned capital town, the end of the episode in which Jansen tries to create a
Garden City;
![Page 105: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)

here we have had air pollution, transportation problems, lack of infrastructure and non-served,
non-green environment;
![Page 107: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
since this is the situation, we can say now that we should preserve the last green areas in the city as if they are “oasises” in a desert.

except for the areas which were designed as “Protocol Areas” in
Jansen’s plan, especially the main streets of multi-storey (6-8-
10) buildings.

the development of Yenişehir and the pressure of CBD had not affected this area to an extend.

deserted the quarters of Old Ankara and left them into a
decline.

“The Citadel”, that Jansen defined as the “Crown of the City”, and
which was kept without any conservation strategy until early
80ies,

The urban design project for Hacıbayram pedestrianised the

The aim : creating a pedestrian square;
however, today we see that the area is again invaded by
vehicles.

the places which went trough urban design and restoration
processes in the 100 hectares of area is not more than the number
of one hand’s fingers.

Çıkrıkçılar Rise, Hükümet Square, Suluhan Area, Itfaiye

The enormous Altındağ Municipality Building in Esen Park in this quarter of the city, not only annihilated the vista
point of Jansen plan,
![Page 147: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/147.jpg)

but also showed the merit to collapse the pedestrian and vehicle traffic in the area.
![Page 149: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/149.jpg)
The Kaleiçi in the Old Ankara, which is piece by piece
annihilated by fires, still is yet to be protected by a Conservation
Plan.
![Page 150: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/150.jpg)

The Old Ankara’s situation in this respect is not very different form the New Ankara; however, there are SIT restrictions that stop the
speculators.
![Page 152: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/152.jpg)
If these restrictions wouldn’t exist, it is plausible to say that Old Ankara
would be demolished in weeks and –let’s not so exaggerate- 4-5 storey
building would be constructed in the Kaleiçi.

Conclusion:

Today natural, cultural and historical environment of Ankara
is still annihilated.
![Page 156: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/156.jpg)
Improvement plans are gambling and mortgage of the future of the
city;

and the time to stop this process is definitely just more than
arrived.
![Page 158: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/158.jpg)
Also all citizens, non-governmental institutions, local
and central government authorities are responsible for this
process;
![Page 159: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/159.jpg)
however, the biggest responsibility does belong to the owner of these
cities, municipalities.
![Page 160: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/160.jpg)
Inventory of historical and cultural heritage and a
“Conservation Masterplan for Ankara” should be formed.
![Page 161: Ankara has lost its valleys, orchards,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/559598fc1a28ab4a368b4781/html5/thumbnails/161.jpg)
A complete inventory of natural values, water basins, rivers,
valleys, valuable lands, flora and fauna should be formed.

“Natural Environment Conservation Masterplan” should be prepared in order to preserve
and improve all of the stated above.

“Metropolitan Area Masterplan” should be prepared which
preserves natural, cultural and historical heritages (in 1/25000
or 1/50000 scales.)

Urban Designs should be prepared so as to form specialized projects
for restoration and rehabilitation of the values stated above (in 1/5000,
1/1000, 1/500 … 1/1 scales.)

The destroy-built-sell and improvement planning process
should be taken under control, and structures should not be
demolished before they expire their economic and technical lifetimes.

The revising of infrastructure, roads and pavements in every
election campaign should be taken under control with limitations;
since this the only way to reach a sustainable urban development.

The citizens, habitants of Ankara should be enlightened and
informed about the conservation of natural and historical
environment.

Empowering the non-governmental institutions to make them be able to undertake projects for conservation and development
is also very important issue for the future of the city.

It should not be forgotten that every citizen has an important part
in this process.
