ABSTRACT
Ankara, as a large city in a developing country, shows the division typical of these cities: a modern planned section housing a westernizing elite and a traditional unplanned section housing low-income people, many of whom are migrants from rural areas. In the twentieth century, Ankara's growth has been very rapid. The unplanned city includes the old city of Ankara, dating from before 1920, and the gecekondu, which house most of the migrants from the countryside. By American standards, public transport service in most sections of Ankara is quite good, so cost is probably a more relevant consideration than availability. The free market type is represented by low-income parts of Ankara as well as cities in the United States and Western Europe. Planned cities do not seem to be well studied in this regard, but at least the gradients shown for Toronto by Latham and Yeates resemble those for the planned sections of Ankara.
