THE NEW PLANNING APPROACHES AND SMART CITIES

The rapid growth of cities causes spatial and social changes and transformations. At the same time, planning theories and concepts are affected by change processes. While the search for innovative methods in urban development and applications comes to the fore, the pressure of population and urbanization affects the planning discipline with sustainable and livable city approaches. The ecological city, livable sustainable city, and smart city approaches are becoming increasingly popular as new approaches. In this context, smart cities aim to ensure the balance of nature and human beings through the use of sustainable resources. Economic, social, cultural and urban development are provided by social and environmental sustainability through smart city approaches. Information, talent, connectivity, technology governance, mobility, environment and lifestyle and digital developments are implemented by integrating with urban planning approaches and smart cities. In this context, the aim of the study is to discuss new approaches in planning theory within the framework of smart cities and to present critical suggestions to our country's planning system. As a method, a review of the literature will be carried out by using the examples of foreign smart cities. The results of these applications will be discussed within the framework of the current planning system and theories of our country.
