While analyzing the subject, literary works –stories- are of beneficence. First of all, after dealing with the meaning of urban and urban modernity and its historical process, the answers to our question as „How Free Are We?‟ in our daily lives as being modern types in metropolitan cities in terms of its relation with the modern city are sought.
