Confrontation of Traditional and Modern

Safranbolu's urban development reflects a historical tension between tradition and modernity, revealing how spatial neighborhood relations have shaped its economic growth and urban identity over the past century. The study identifies this conflict as a manifestation of political, social, and urban failures to adapt to the needs of a traditional regional center in the early 20th century, contrasting Safranbolu's experience with that of Karabük. By analyzing spatial dynamics, the research highlights how provincial centers struggled to reconcile their historical identities with modernization pressures, offering insights into the broader central-provincial dilemma in Turkey.
