Political career
Mayor of Bursa
Akyürek was elected as the Mayor of Bursa on May 3, 1942. During this period, his works for culture and art in Bursa include opening the Municipal Music House and Art Gallery, as well as expropriating land for Kültürpark.[2] In 1943, he corresponded with Muhsin Ertuğrul to establish a city theater affiliated with the municipality. According to his memoirs, although they agreed for Ertuğrul to come to Bursa three times a week, the municipal council did not allow the establishment of the theatre.[3]
He also carried out studies on public health during his term as mayor. Due to the typhus epidemic that broke out in Istanbul in 1943, he intervened to prevent the disease from spreading to Bursa, which received a high number of visitors during this period. In this context, measures such as disinfecting buses coming from Istanbul, detecting fever patients and quarantining neighborhoods were put into effect.[4]
