Over the last three decades, historic housing areas have become one of the major concerns in urban regeneration, housing renovation and conservation projects. Since the late 1990s, the notion of community, sustainability and sustainable community have become rising issues in the urban regeneration debate. Regeneration, Heritage and Sustainable Communities in Turkey contributes to this debate by integrating the interplay between regeneration, community needs and sustainability in the context of Istanbul. Together with the relational, multi-scalar and contingency planning approaches, these vital agents of regeneration provide new possibilities and creative opportunities to successfully deal with the uncertainties and complexities in evolving regeneration spaces. The interdisciplinary text reasons that finding the balance between the needs, aspirations and concerns of local communities and the conservation of the built environments will lead to more equitable and sustainable solutions to the problems faced in Istanbul’s historic quarters.

Collective Residential Spaces in Sustainability Development: Turkish Housing Units within Co-Living Understanding
Ataman, Cem; Gürsel Dino, İpek (2019-09-06)
Housing models that target rather typical family structures are increasingly failing to meet the needs of the new social changes regarding the rapid urbanization due to the mass-migration to cities, the lack of affordable housing, and the adoption of the sharing economy practices. As an architectural counterpart of the social dimension of sustainable development, co-living is introduced as a connected way of living, enabling sustainable living practices through efficient use of resources and space while sha...
Searching for a Balance Between Community Needs and Conservation Policies in Historic Neighbourhoods of Istanbul
Akkar Ercan, Zübeyde Müge (2010-01-01)

To answer this question, this article explores the interplay between conservation, community needs and sustainability in the context of Turkey, focusing on Istanbul. It premises on the assumption that finding the balance betwe...
Predictors of children's satisfaction with mass housing
Severcan, Yücel Can (Informa UK Limited, 2020-01-02)

They show the specific features of the dwelling and neighborhood that were critical in predicting children's residential satisfaction: dwelling location and size; appearance of interior design elements provided by the authority; views f...
