The book, prepared within the scope of the project "100 Books for the 100th Year of the Republic", will be a valuable resource for the students of the Department of Landscape Architecture who are taking basic courses in the Department of Landscape Architecture at Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, Faculty of Forestry, and other readers. I would like to thank the authors who contributed to the preparation of the book and the Rectorate of Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa and the Dean's Office of Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, Faculty of Forestry for supporting scientific studies.

I would also like to express my gratitude for the contributions of the professors of Istanbul Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, Department of Urban and Regional Planning to our department in the past years. I hope that the "CITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING" book, prepared with intense labor and devotion, will be useful for landscape architecture students and students studying in planning and design disciplines.
