Özet:

Cities are settlements where urban people live in an urban consciousness and by their urban identity. Cities are living spaces with their own cultures. The unique cultures of cities face deterioration under the influence of globalization. On the other hand, cities and city dwellers face problems such as migration, cultural corruption, loneliness, and incompatibility. Libraries are loaded with new roles and responsibilities on the city, culture and urban culture to reduce these problems and at the same time to benefit from the cultural heritage. In this context, the study focuses on the characteristics of the city and urban culture; then evaluations are made on the relationship between the city and information centers. Then, in this study, determinations are made on the new opportunities that libraries offer to the people of the city and the reasons for innovation; evaluations are made on urbanization in some library activities and on their architectural features in the world and Turkey.
