Özet
Many planning approaches have appeared in order to minimize the negative effects of urbanization on nature and people, eliminate population and urbanization pressure, and create more efficient, livable cities. Some of them are green city, eco city, livable city, extended urbanism, digital city, smart city, and so on. According to the International Organization for Standardization, smart cities are a new concept and a new model, which applies the new generation of information technologies, such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, Big Data, and space/geographical information integration, to facilitate the planning, construction, management and smart services of cities (ISO, 2014). The developments in especially the information technology in the last two decades have brought to mind the possibility of using technology in solving the problems that are seen especially in existing cities. Among the concepts listed above, "Smart city" is a relatively recent one. While it still lacks a certain definition, it is considered within the scope of different urban development scenarios, and it mainly aims at meeting the requirements of cities through solutions integrated with technology. However, cities naturally involve a continuous change and transformation. If this change and transformation are not managed in a controlled manner within the framework of some basic principles, it can result in unqualified and ordinary environments that have lost their original values. In conclusion, integrating the features of all concepts would be a more solution-based and befitting approach for a landscape architect, rather than handling the cities, which are different from each other with all their natural characteristics, through a single concept and trying to attach an identity or describing them. © Peter Lang AG 2019.
