Local Entrepreneurialism and State Rescaling in Turkey
Bayırbağ, Mustafa Kemal (SAGE Publications, 2010-02-01)
The paper examines the links between the rise of local entrepreneurialism and state rescaling in a neo-liberal context. The thrust of the article is that the agency of localities, increasingly manifested in the form of local entrepreneurialism, emerges through the political activism of a local bourgeoisie, in pursuit of a multiscalar local accumulation strategy. The article focuses on the spatial interest representation strategies of the local bourgeoisie introducing the concept of scalar strategies of repr...
Displacement and asset transformation from inner-city squatter settlement into peripheral mass housing
Borsuk, Imren; Eroglu, Ensari (SAGE Publications, 2020-04-01)
While slum clearance projects in the Global South have displaced a large number of urban poor from the inner city to peripheral areas, peripheral mass housing estates have been developed as a spatial fix to improve the livelihood of the urban poor through slum development projects. Shifting the focus of displacement and poverty studies on changing assets and social experiences of displacement, this study makes an empirical contribution to the literature with a case study from Turkey. It demonstrates that ma...
THE ROLE OF LEADERSHIP IN THE SUCCESS OF PARTICIPATORY PLANNING PROCESSES EXPERIENCE FROM TURKEY
Gedikli, Bahar (SAGE Publications, 2009-04-01)
The literature discusses how successful results in a participatory planning process can be achieved in localities with qualified social capital; that is, civil organizations and relationships built up within a community. Nevertheless, despite low-profile development figures and an inadequate number of civic associations (social capital), the Provincial Development Planning Process in Sanliurfa (Turkey) was achieved by local stakeholders, who shared their views on the problems and potentials of the province ...
Assembling gentrification in Istanbul: The Cihangir neighbourhood of Beyolu
Yetişkul Şenbil, Emine (SAGE Publications, 2018-11-01)
This paper aims to contribute to the gentrification literature through the potentials of assemblage thinking. We focus on gentrification in Istanbul, which represents the characteristics of both the Global South and North, and use assemblages to link together gentrification and the temporal scales of Istanbul's urbanisation as well as geographical scales of gentrification around the world. Approaching gentrification as a continual process of transformation and emergence, we intend to illuminate how assembla...
Constructing collaborative processes through experiential learning: Participatory planning in Kaymakli, Turkey
Ataöv Demirkan, Anlı (Elsevier BV, 2009-10-01)
Prevalent discussions in urban planning focus on collaboration. However, they do not explain the underlying processes that allow collaborative work. This paper argues that experiential learning processes can help construct and maintain collaborative platforms in urban planning. To show this, the paper uses the participatory planning of Kaymakli, a small agricultural and touristic town in the internationally well-known cultural landscape, the Cappadoccia region. This entails the second stage of a two-year lo...
