The meaning of urban crisis', and its applications in concrete struggles to govern and contest austerity urbanism, remains under-specified analytically and poorly understood empirically. This paper addresses the lacuna by opening up the concept of urban crisis to critical scrutiny. It begins by exploring how urban crisis-talk' tends to over-extend the concept in ways that can render it shallow or meaningless. The paper looks, second, at different applications of the terminology of crisis', disclosing key framings and problematics. In the spirit of critical urban studies, it focuses, third, on practices of crisis-resistance and crisis-making. The paper concludes by summarising the six urban crisis framings linked to six urban problematics, in order to inform future studies of austerity urbanism and assist in developing more reflexive approaches to the concept.

Impacts of privatization on urban planning: the Turkish case (Ankara)
Eren, Şirin Gülcen; Keskinok, Hüseyin Çağatay; Department of City and Regional Planning (2007)
Privatization debate in urban planning literature is accelerating as commodification of urban space increases by the “tension” between urban planning and privatization. The limited number of studies on the privatization of public lands and its impacts on urban planning processes as well as the theoretical framework in terms of rent, rights to property, and public interest issues has stimulated the aims of this thesis. All these provided a base for this thesis. This Thesis aims to clarify the relationship be...
Reintegration of an inner-city industrial heritage to the wider urban context: the case of Cermodern
Şanlı, Hakan; Gedikli, Bahar; Department of City and Regional Planning (2016)
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...
The effect of the global financial crisis on household income, inequality and poverty in Turkey
Şeker, Sırma Demir; Dayıoğlu Tayfur, Meltem (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2016-4)
Using a nationally representative large scale micro data, we investigate the effect of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) on household income, inequality and poverty in Turkey. In assessing the impact of the GFC, we take 2007 (pre-crisis year) as the benchmark and compare 2009 to 2007 and to 2011 (post-crisis period). We find that (real) household disposable income drops by 3.6 percent from 2007 to 2009, but that the decline in equivalized income is lower at 1.2 percent. Income inequality decreases over...
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...
The Political construction of urban development projects: The Political construction of urban development projects : the case of İzmir
Penpecioğlu, Mehmet; Keskinok, Hüseyin Çağatay; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2012)
Urban Development Projects (UDPs) have become hegemonic projects of redefining urban political priorities. The political construction of UDPs could not only be investigated through analyzing capital accumulation processes. To reveal how UDPs are politically constructed, this thesis investigates how governmental and non-governmental agents form a hegemonic block to mobilize hegemonic discursive practices and coercive-legislative mechanisms in the formation of UDPs. A Lefebvrian-inspired neo-Gramscian theoret...
