Abstract

In early modern Turkey (1923–1945), the newly established state placed a strong emphasis on modern planning approaches in architectural and urban design to shape a contemporary urban identity. The planning of Atatürk Forest Farm, an urban farm that integrated sports and recreational spaces with leisure activities, materialized an extraordinary spatial practice to create a modern and secular society. The study aims to examine the planned social spaces (cultural, social, and sports facilities) of the Atatürk Forest Farm in relation to the space and practice in shaping society and the behavioural pattern of society. The study method involved an in-depth evaluation of all historical sources and materials to find out how spatial practices produced new codes, new life norms, and meanings, thereby gaining a comprehensive understanding of the subject. The production of social spaces served as a convenient place to demonstrate the modern style of living that is based on the principles of the Republican Regime, such as individualism, specialism, and secularism.
