With the globalization process, cities have to keep pace with the structural transformation in global economy. The changing industrial production types have resulted in changes in land uses of the cities. In these sense, abandoned inner-city industrial areas have become important urban design problems. These areas actually constitute the majority of “lost spaces” defined by Trancik (1986). In the last few decades, the architectural intervention and redevelopment of these abandoned innercity industrial areas has become an important subject within the field of urban design, and the integration of these industrial sites to the urban context has been brought into the spotlight. This study approaches to the integration discussion as perceptual integration through using the imageability concept of Lynch (1960) at the urban design scale. CerModern which was obtained through the transformation of an industrial heritage is one of the major venues of the cultural life in Ankara. As being subject to the transformation project from its former industrial use to cultural use, CerModern is a good exemplar to shed light on the integration of an industrial heritage to the wider urban context. This thesis examines the perceptual integration of CerModern within the urban context by using Lynch’s methodology of imageability analysis.

Analysis of urban morphology in squatter transformation areas Şahin, Mustafa Raşit; Yetişkul Şenbil, Emine; Department of City and Regional Planning (2014) The impacts and results of urban transformation has been discussed as an important issue in developing countries by different disciplines as political economy, urban design, city planning and urban sociology. Urban transformation projects in Turkey are mainly criticized since the main focus is about physical transformation. In this context, the aim of the study is to determine what quality of space is produced by urban transformation projects in Turkey. Urban transformation projects creates a different scal...
A Tale of Ulus square: a critical assessment of continuity, transformation and change in a historic public open space in Ankara Ayhan Koçyiğit, Elif Selena; Şahin Güçhan, Neriman; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2018) Historic cities – which are complex entities formed by continuous interaction between physical and human environment – are under the threat of rapid transformation due to the domestic and global economy and politics. As inseparable components of historic cities, public open spaces are one of the most vulnerable elements of this transformation. The lack of a detailed definition of historic public open spaces and a method for their conservation in current laws and regulations in Turkey, result in the rapid lo...
Relocation from an inner-city neighborhood to peripheral mass housing: from Kadifekale to Uzundere, İzmir Eroğlu, Ensarı; Kalaycıoğlu, Hediye Sibel; Department of Social Policy (2019) As neoliberal urbanism spreads into the world urban authorities direct investment into the real estate market and accelerate the commodification of land in order to attract global capital and bolster economic competitiveness. While market forces became the main actor of urban transformation in the Global North, the state took this role in the Global South by urban renewal programs. Slum dwellers in the Global South that compose an important part of the urban poor are hit by urban transformation projects as ...
The transformation of urban environment under the impacts of global processes: the development of Levent – Maslak axis in İstanbul and it’s impacts on social resilience Altay, Deniz; Eraydın, Ayda; Department of City and Regional Planning (2011) This thesis investigates the transformation of cities under the influence of globalization and the socio-spatial impacts of the process. The thesis asserts that global processes, with their neo-liberal agenda, influence the creation of new urban environments and new conditions of living and working in cities by triggering new dynamics in the functioning of certain urban mechanisms such as labour and land markets, which are conceptualized in the study as ‘urban interface mechanisms’. The thesis also asserts ...
Contesting neoliberal urbanisation : contemporary urban movements in Istanbul, the case of Gülsuyu-Gülensu neighbourhoods Özdemir, Esin; Eraydın, Ayda; Department of City and Regional Planning (2013) The shift from Keynesian to neo-liberal economic policies marked the changes in the urban agenda and the nature of urban movements in the last three decades. The neo-liberal urbanisation reinforced outstanding transformations on the development of urban space, especially in metropolitan areas, including Istanbul. The urban transformation projects, as instruments of neoliberal urbanisation, result in serious changes in this metropolitan area and encounter resistances from groups of people in the city. The pu...
