The Urban Planning Department of Anin Engineering Company, as one of the specialized and strategic units, is responsible for planning, designing and managing spatial development at various urban and regional scales. This department, with a scientific, analytical and data-based approach, examines the spatial structure of cities, physical connections, land use patterns, transportation networks and urban infrastructure. Unlike the Architecture Department, which focuses on the design of building spaces and the architecture of buildings, the Urban Planning Department is responsible for organizing and guiding the macro-urban and interstitial spaces.
This department focuses on the systematic design of urban structures, creating a balance between development and resource conservation, improving the quality of the living environment and responding to the economic, social and environmental needs of citizens. These activities are carried out through the preparation of urban development plans, comprehensive and detailed plans, urban design, organizing dilapidated textures, and land planning.
Urban Design and Public Space Management
This department includes the design of urban spaces such as squares, sidewalks, parks, neighborhood centers, and the management of urban walls. Designs in which the balance between functionality, aesthetics, and social interaction is the main focus. Anin’s Urban Planning Department analyzes urban behaviors and provides designs that are in line with social and cultural realities.
Comprehensive and Detailed Urban Plans
The Urban Planning Department works to prepare master plans for cities and various regions with the aim of balanced and sustainable development. These plans include land use planning, population analysis, urban transportation networks, construction regulations, and the direction of future development of cities. Partnership with urban management institutions is an integral part of this process.
Design and Regeneration of Inefficient and Deteriorated Textures
One of the key areas of activity of this department is the regeneration of historical, deteriorat- ed textures and informal settlements. These measures are carried out with the aim of improving the quality of the living environment, upgrading infrastructure and redefining urban spaces. At Anin, we implement this process with a participatory approach, benefiting from international experiences and in accordance with the local texture of each region.
Transportation Planning and Urban Communication Networks
In the Department of Urban Development, transportation is not seen simply as an infrastructure, but rather as a tool for guiding spatial development. Planning access routes, locating public transport stations, developing a sustainable transport-based development (TOD) model, and reducing dependence on private cars are among the main missions in this department.
Sustainable Development and Urban Environmental Planning
Given the environmental pressures resulting from excessive urban development, this department plays a role in formulating green strategies, climate-friendly urban design, preserving green spaces and natural resources, and analyzing the environmental impacts of development plans.
Separation of the Urban Planning Department from Architecture
At Anin Engineering Company, the Urban Planning Department and the Architecture Department operate with clear and defined boundaries. While architecture focuses on the creative design of the interior and exterior spaces of buildings, aesthetics, and functionality of buildings, urban planning takes a broad look at the spatial organization of the city, the distribution of activities, infrastructure, and territorial development policies. This specialized separation enhances accuracy, coherence, and quality in the final output of projects.
The Urban Planning Department of Anin Engineering Company is ready to provide comprehensive urban planning services at various local, urban, and regional levels, utilizing experienced professionals, advanced analytical software, and a participatory approach. Our goal is to create human-centered, smart, and sustainable cities.
