History

During the early years of the Republic, Ankara was a small city. Modern Ankara was developed after the city was proclaimed the capital. As a result of series of plans (like that of Lörcher in 1925s and that of Hermann Jansen in 1930s) new Ankara was developed.^[1] Mithatpaşa Avenue is a part of this development.

Mithatpaşa Avenue is a one way arterial road. The traffic flows to Sıhhiye Square. Public buses to the west of the city center follow the route from Meşrutiyet Avenue to Mithatpaşa Avenue and eventually they pass to the west side by an overpass in Sıhhiye Square.
