Özet:

Purpose: In the memoirs of Bilge Architect Turgut Cansever, who has left deep traces in the world and Turkish scientific circles, interdisciplinary collaboration culture, geography, Professor Ali Tanaoğlu and the section about Istanbul are discussed. Before the relevant part of the memoir, short biographies of Cansever and Tanoğlu and their works are given. Then, by the end of the 1940s, the aforementioned scientists focused on Turkish science, current socio-cultural developments, especially in the light of population changes, the situation of the country a hundred years later, possible problems, the reflections of these problems on Istanbul and their anxious perspectives on the importance of urban planning. It has been tried to reveal with concrete examples how the perspectives of two scientists who have an interdisciplinary collaborative work culture on the solution of existing and potential problems leave traces at the point of acceptance and rejection. At the point reached while doing this, it is aimed to analyze the relationship between the virtue expected of the scientist and the problems experienced. Method: The mixed method was used as a method, including biographical studies, memoirs, especially population and quantitative data on certain subjects. Because the use of these data together provides a better understanding of the problem of the research than the use of the approaches alone. Findings: If the approaches that Cansever and Tanoğlu put forward in the 1940s were appreciated, Istanbul and other big cities that went through the same process would perhaps not have the problems experienced in the last 70 years and a healthy urbanization would take place in our country. Implications: As a result, the approaches of the collaborative working culture, prudent and virtuous scientists and scientists who have the opposite characteristics but who are at the decision-making point have had negative effects on Istanbul. Originality: The study focuses on revealing the current situation and interpreting it in the light of concrete data, based on an event that left a trace in the life of a world-renowned scientist. The subject is unique in terms of its handling and processing.
