1 Since the 1990s, Ankara has become the object of studies questioning the spatial aspect of Turkish nation-building. See, for instance, Jean-François Pérouse, “D’Angora à Ankara (1919–1950): la naissance d’une capitale” (Ph.D. dissertation, Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne, 1994); Bernd Nicolai, Modern ve Sürgün: Almanca Konuşulan Ülkelerin Mimarları Türkiye’de 1925–1955, trans. Yüksel Pöğün Zander (Ankara: TMMOB Mimarlar Odası, 2011; original German edition, 1998); Sibel Bozdoğan, Modernism and Nation Building: Turkish Architectural Culture in the Early Republic (Seattle: University of Washington Press, 2001); and Ali Cengizkan, Ankara’nın İlk Planı: 1924–25 Lörcher Planı, Kentsel Mekan Özellikleri, 1932 Jansen Planı’na ve Bugüne Katkıları, Etki ve Kalıntıları (Ankara: Ankara Enstitüsü Vakfı, 2004). For a critical evaluation of this recent literature, see Bülent Batuman, “‘Early Republican Ankara’: Struggle over Historical Representation and the Politics of Urban Historiography,” Journal of Urban History 37 (2011): 661–679.
