The distance of disappeared streams
The Results for the Lost Streams of Ankara
The streams, which played a vital role in Ankara's early settlement, have now disappeared. The capital has grappled with flooding and infrastructure challenges, exacerbated by rapid urbanization and unearned income. This study delves into the historical relationship between infrastructure and lost urban streams throughout the history of the republic. The analysis draws from city maps and various reports from the State Hydraulic Works and the Municipality. It culminates in the unveiling of the map of disappeared streams of Ankara, covering a 100 km² area within the city center. Furthermore, potential sites for stream daylighting were identified, outlining three landscape typologies for Ankara.
