URBAN TRANSFORMATION URBAN FRONTIERS AND ISTANBUL EXAMPLE

Abstract: It is the production and implementation of projects for demolition, reconstruction, revitalization, rehabilitation or restructuring in order to reconsider urban development in terms of social, economic and spatial aspects and to make problematic areas in the city healthy and livable. In summary, urban transformation means eliminating the problems that disrupt the fabric of a city. In slum transformation/urban renewal projects, it is aimed to "restructure the illegal construction areas and areas that have reached the end of their economic life in the city, in accordance with the rezoning standards, by providing all the necessary urban and social equipment services and taking into account all possible natural disaster risks." Urban transformation should not turn into a practice of dispossessing and displacing the urban poor; This resource transfer should not proceed through the liquidation of slum areas and informal settlements, which are the places of lower income groups, through urban transformation and the opening of their lands to expensive projects (Harvey 2008). In Istanbul, worn-out historical areas within the city (Sulukule, Tarlabaşı, Fener, Balat, Ayvansaray, Tokludede Türk Mahallesi, etc.) and slum areas (Küçükçekmece Ayazma, etc.) are being liquidated through urban transformation. The process is carried out in cooperation with local governments and TOKİ.
