The reflection of urbanization on Turkish cinema

Cities that attract people to them are defined as places where there is a high number of non-agricultural activities without agricultural activities in the most general definition.These venues have undergone many changes and transformations throughout history. However, none affected cities as much as the industrial revolution. The industrial revolution forced cities to change and transform economically, socially, politically and even culturally. The biggest impact of this change and transformation for the city has been the urbanization process. The urbanization process in Turkey began in the 1950s with the modernization movement in the agricultural field. This modernization movement forced families who could not find employment in the countryside to migrate to large cities, causing urbanization to occur. Having experienced a rapid urbanization process since this date, Turkey has faced many problems with the effect of urbanization. Visual sources are as important as written sources in identifying and resolving these problems. Considering this importance, the urbanization process in Turkey will be divided into periods with cinema and an urbanization map of Turkey will be tried to be drawn.
