Detailed Description

A city is a screen that reflects with great sensitivity the lives and thoughts of its citizens. The form of a city is created as a reflection of the changing sense of value of the people living in its various sections as time goes on. In this context, the formulation of an urban image is an important element in the creation of the unique aesthetics of a city. The richness and depth of a cityscape are formulated over its long years of history and the protection and efforts of its citizens. And the quality of a given city is accumulated through the sense of values of its people through the ages. The time since independence through the period of economic growth and up to the present has indeed been a time of confused values, and today we continue to live amidst the echos of that confusion. The elements that make up a city include not only such large facilities as public offices, housing, and commercial architecture; there are also a number of urban facilities and tools close to the daily lives of the people that work together to support the urban environment.
