As development paradigm and welfare state –which are the starting point of traditional planning- leave their place to globalisation process, urban planning have to redefine its methodology and contents. In this changing context, the planner profile, who is working as a technician for public and who must solve the conflict of public and private interest, have to change and redefine. In the context of public-society conflict that is examined, starting from the reality of public (state) interest can be against society, the relation between public and private interest must be re-examined and society interest must be highlighted. Contemporary planner has to play a role in a system which lets all parts of the society participate and interact. The planner should carry a variety of missions such as, starting the process, submitting the long term visions to the society, guiding in order to reach the democratically defined vision, creating choices via technical knowledge, reconciling the groups, bargaining and promoting the plan in case.
In order to manage these missions, team work is certainly necessary, moreover students should be professionalized in some areas of education system without losing track of other issues. An education policy of this professionalizing context, will make the graduates create and promote their own projects on urban parts in the restricted employment market.

PLN 622 CITY, SOCIAL COHESION AND CONFLICT

2 Hrs/Week, Theory, 2 Credits, 3 ECTS Credits
The phenomenon of change, as a result of rapid urbanization process which has been experienced in developing countries, brings together a huge number of people having different cultural backgrounds, especially in the metropolitan cities. This urban population pattern fuels dynamism and encourages creativity depending on diversity. But, it also has a potential of social tension between different groups of society, having different visions of life. The tension between these groups which have economic, social and political dependence on each other can be prevented by the establishment of pluralist democratic systems which integrate these groups in an environment of negotiation. These democratic tools are recognized as the vital components in the establishment of social harmony and peace and the political stability standing on social stability is accepted as the guarantee of democratic pluralist systems. The examination of this two sided phenomenon will contribute to the establishment of democratic urban management systems which help to make organizations in order to set up social cohesion in the society. In this context, the main goal of this course is to explore the current multi-cultural structure in the metropolitan cities in a theoretical perspective and to find out the clues to lighten the way through the restructuring process of urban management systems.
