Turkey has many cities which are rich in history, cultural and natural resources. For this purpose, many cities carry out various activities in order to become a brand city. These activities are supported by the state in various forms. In addition to all these application activities, there is also a rapid increase in the number of academic studies on the concept of city brand.
