'Volume 3 "Kent ve Politika" (Land and Politics) . The series publisher is IMGE Kitabevi, Ankara, 2007.
'Making it home – Mehmet Ali and the growth of Ankara', pages 245-257 (English version) and pages 279-290 (Turkish version).


The chapter was written as a contribution to a series of books in honour of Professor Rusen Keles, the most senior researcher on urban administration in Turkey. It draws on the experience Geoff has had working in Ankara since 1974, some times with Prof. Keles, and involved the processes by which people migrating into Ankara obtained land, housing and jobs.
