In this respect, how can you evaluate the history of the UN, its successes and failures and how do you see it in the future?

In this research it will be talked about the urbanization and modern cities that are developed after the industrial revolution. Modern cities and urbanization in the real sense emerged after the industrial transformation by triggering people to flock into urban areas from rural. But the point that needs to be noted here is that the concept of urbanization that has come to fruition due to the industrial revolution is only for western societies. Non-western societies have experienced the urbanization process differently and uniquely from western societies. As a non-western country Turkey, which constitutes the subject of research of this article, started to urbanize before it could complete the industrial cycle. The developing countries, which have not completed the industrial revolution, cannot meet the needs of the masses that flow from the rural areas to the cities, and as a consequence, the unplanned urbanization in these countries arises. This result comes from the fact that the opportunities for sheltering and the number of people seeking shelter do not increase at the same pace. Internal migrations have very decisive effects on the economy and socioculture. These changes stemming from domestic migrations bring their own demands such as more lands to settle down and more production to feed those such masses etc. The migrators seeking for a new solutions to those land problems in cities build dozens of hovels in the periphery of cities to settle down in urban areas. The immigration increasing primarily after the formation of modern Turkey and urbanization struggle has ended up in a big trouble: Squatters. Generally after the urbanization movements in one place proceeds with squatter settlements around outskirts of the cities.

INDUSTRIALIZED FOOD CULTURE Current societies are defined and constructed by the last transformations in the world of thought. Without a shadow of a doubt the rationalization process on which the current societies are built is the most staggering time of passage impinging people's ways of thinking and accordingly their general mores of life. With the industrial revolution, the most efficacious tool helping rationalization get rationalized societies, the ways people produce and consume their foods inevitably have gone through changes. These alterations in the food culture were so dramatic that it is now even possible to speak of an 'industrialization and rationalization of food sector'. In this paper the changes in the eating habits after the industrial revolution will be discussed within the scope and in the light of sociology. Despite the fact that industrial revolution's impacts on food culture are so scattered and vast it is apt to say that industrial transformation of society by means of machines changed the way people produce food, the way people consume food and the purpose people eat. Rationalization is the life paradigm that encourages and covenants people to get the best efficiency by calculating every details and thus increasing the predictability of life. Industrial revolution the embodiment of the rational notion paved the way for people trying to apply the principles of rationalization on food production. Consequently, people reached at a level enabling them to produce giant and very efficient machines for agricultural affairs. The conventional food 1 Abdullah Talha Sevindik
