Institute of Urban Studies has performed urban management consultancy with a perspective that includes all arguments that will make life easier in cities. Institutions that predestinate of city must approach solution of multilayered and multi dimensional problems with correct decisions and practices. Thus determining causes of existing problems is the most basic element of taking step. Institute of Urban Studies offers identifying problems correctly while building management consultancy and presents the most ideal solution to problems produced by many different components to municipalities, governorships, district governors by analyzing.

Approaching to management through “current” factors without skipping historical management experience and the experiences offered by this balance will positively affect the quality of urban life. Perpetual pursuit and analysis of services held in the city management requires a certain periodic supervision. As “Urban Management Barometer” urban management monitoring tool, we have been developing quality solutions by making periodic measurements in all service fields of city.

We take a photo of the city and develop solutions with a monthly problem oriented barometer in all service fields of the city from environmental services to reconstruction services.

Institute of Urban Studies has been developing suggestions by making researches on all issues concerning city from architecture to economy, environmental problems to social relations. Apart from the field research based on citizen satisfaction basically, we are working to ensure that investments and planning are made correctly and sustainable with the impact analysis researches before the studies to be carried out by municipality and city management actors.

How cities are attached to life and people is an important issue in itself as much as their foundation stories. Time changes spatial structure, form and social structure of the city in the process as it changes everything. While this change further functionalizes some parts of the city, it also ages some of them makes them antiqued and makes them wreckage places. Urban Transformation, which means rewriting the fate of a city, should be performed in a healthy manner without damaging city’s silhouette and social structure by carrying out with a holistic approach.

INSTITUE considers children composing one third of society and having a serious disadvantage in the city life as an emergency  action plan in the urban construct. A multi-layered and fair urban construct and management that handles child with the family together, with child for child can be possible through serious data collection and strategy development. Every study focusing on the child includes all categories such as women, elderly and disabled people. Because child represents the inner person. Local governments should ensure that children who are our future will grow up in the light of our traditional values and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights so that children-grow in more qualified social and environmental conditions.

IdealKent considers publishing as a basic principle to produce a city-centered perspective on human problems and their solutions by determining city as a central element of the research. While assigning its original interest as a city, it broadcasts obviously to all kinds of links established by different disciplines with the “city”. It offers an academic ground to studies on city produced in fields such as sociology, psychology, history, philosophy, anthropology, architecture, city-regional planning, law and political science…

How we build the future without having a grasp of knowledge of the past stands in front of us as a question without an answer. In order to recreate cities with identity, we must consider our history and history of the city firstly. However we can present livable cities with identity to future generations by combining the time period we live with the knowledge of the past in such a way. As the cradle of civilizations, we look at Anatolian and Anatolian cities, which have connected humanity with an inviting style in all times of history, from their culture to history, from sociology to architecture from today’s window…

One of the most important factors that give a city its soul is the construction of a common identity. The most important way that gives a city identity is the compilation, analysis, processing of existing values and transferring this meaning through a correct channel by attributing a meaning to them. Information of congress, workshop, symposium and panel studies is accepted as a fair of culture and science. We bring together experts and academicians working in cities, we encourage their work and ensure that they convey the information they produce in the most accurate way.

As INSTITUE we determine and plan congress, workshop, symposium and panel contents and organize the process properly by directing academicians and experts…
