OBJECTIVE: TO PROMOTE ANKARA'S HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY WITH MAPS
Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Deputy Secretary General Mustafa Kemal Çokakoğlu, who visited the exhibition, said, “One of the most original parts of Turkish modernization in the broadest sense started with our Republic. It is very important in terms of examining the morphology of a region through maps and plans and making sense of the innovations made in that area. It is an exhibition that will make Ankara more understandable and predictable. I am sure that it will make a great contribution to this”, while TED University Head of City and Regional Planning Department Prof. Dr. Baykan Günay gave the following information:
“Ankara has a population approaching 6 million. Ankara is the 5th and 6th largest city in Europe. Each of these maps has a meaning. With maps, we aim to introduce Ankara's history, geography, the plans that made Ankara Ankara and its transformation by examining. A person who sees this should be able to deduce something by looking at the pictures. We need to comment before we need that article. We aim to instill this in society. I invite the people of Ankara to visit the exhibition.”
