Personal Profile

I’m Beste Köken, an Urban Planner exploring how design and data can help shape sustainable, people-friendly cities. With a background in urban design and GIS, I enjoy using tools like ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, and Adobe software to reveal the stories behind urban spaces. I believe planning thrives on listening, creativity, and practical solutions, and I’m eager to keep learning and contributing to better cities for all.
