“İzmit” as a book category encompasses works centered on the city of İzmit and the wider Kocaeli region in northwestern Turkey—its past as ancient Nicomedia and later Byzantine, Ottoman, and Republican İzmit; its geography along the Gulf of İzmit; and its modern identity as an industrial and transport hub near Istanbul. The category can include local and regional histories, archaeology and heritage studies, travel guides and photo essays, sociocultural analyses of migration, labor, and urbanization, narratives about the 1999 Marmara/İzmit earthquake and community resilience, and titles on maritime, environmental, and industrial development. It also covers fiction and memoirs set in İzmit, biographies of notable regional figures, and educational or children’s books about the city. The common thread is that İzmit serves as the primary setting, subject, or lens for exploring these themes.
