Özet:

Cities formed as a result of the development of settlement cores formed by the instinct of living together are considered as the most important invention of human history. The physical design of the open or closed spaces formed in the city, which is the center of a very rich network of relations, was realized by the profession defined by the name of architecture. Being the cradle of civilization, the city is an important place reflecting the sum of cultural, social and artistic accumulations in which the history of civilization is read. The Turks, which enriched the understanding of Islamic cities, revived the geography of Anatolia and made the people prosper. In order to ensure security in Anatolia, the castles lost their importance and the city's textures began to develop outside the walls. Thanks to the establishment of trust, trade has developed and the people have lived in peace and tranquility. With the conquest of Istanbul, the Ottomans who took over the heritage of the Seljuks changed the course of not only Turkish history but also world history. They decorated the cities like İznik, Bursa, Edirne and İstanbul with the original structures of Ottoman architecture.It is of great importance to preserve and maintain the historical monuments and architectural monuments in the city. In this respect, in order for the ancient city tissues to survive in a healthy way, the society must have a conservation awareness. This awareness can only be developed through a cultural policy to be implemented in this field.
