Our profession, in the light of science and technology, defines the most important goal as the construction of healthy living spaces for the society and the preparation of existing settlements against the destructive effects of all natural and social events. For this reason, our profession needs discussions and progressive examples that identify problems in advance and put forward comprehensive solution proposals to prepare our cities for the future by defending life against destruction.

For this purpose, the title of the 48th Colloquium on November 8, World Urbanism Day has been determined as “Destruction, Life, Urbanism” . While the theme of the colloquium points to the destruction caused by natural disasters but also by man-made decisions, as well as spatial transformation and displacement, it also includes our hope for our profession and for livable spaces produced collectively. Within the scope of the colloquium, it is aimed to evaluate the place of urbanism in the complementary cycle of destruction and life in the light of current practices, theoretical and ethical discussions and to discuss the present and future of our profession.

The 48th Colloquium on November 8, World Urbanism Day will be held in Antalya onNovember 7-8-9, 2024 . The 48th Colloquium, which will be organized in cooperation with our Chamber, Akdeniz University Department of City and Regional Planning and Antalya Metropolitan Municipality, will be held at Antalya Cultural Center.

The presence of City and Regional Planning students, research assistants and academicians at the Colloquium, where sessions and panels will be held on various topics for three days, will increase the richness of the Colloquium and make the discussions more productive. In this context, we expect department administrations to organize their academic calendars in line with the Colloquium dates and to support the participation of academic staff and students in the Colloquium.

We invite all our departments to support and enrich the 48th Colloquium on November 8, World Urbanism Day within the framework of institutional cooperation and wish them success in the new academic term.
