World’s Fair or commonly referred as Expo, is an organization that takes place in various countries and cities since the mid-19th century. The introduction of new technology, innovations or simply gathering attention on some issues are the most popular qualities attributed to Expo. Among all, Expo is a great economic movement that is to be considered in a bivariate context. In this paper, the main discussion focuses on the determining the effects of such a big event bringing a ‘plug-in’ urbanity for the hosting city along with economy. In this given context, in order to exemplify the theoretical discussion, 2015 Expo held in Milan is discussed. Experiences during main 3 phases of process, and the effects on urban environment is focused on. Milan is selected since it has completed the organization 4 years ago that provides data to discuss for ‘what was the expectation and what is the reality’. Considering all, the study starts with the theoretical part about the ‘City and Expo’, to ground an economic-spatialcontext and later opens discussions on 2015 Milan Expo sites to understand the small urban solutions produced.

Mega Events in Istanbul from Henri Prost's master plan of 1937 to the twenty-first-century Olympic bids Bilsel, Fatma Cânâ (2011-01-01) Mega Events are considered to be important impetuses for the regeneration of their host cities as much as for the economic development of their countries. This study examines a number of events planned to take place in Istanbul since the mid-1930s. Although the projects studied here never progressed beyond the planning stages, they have been understood as an important influence upon urban development. Henri Prost, who oversaw the planning of Istanbul from 1936 to 1951, first introduced the idea that the Oly...
Evolving roles of public spaces in post industrial cities Akkar Ercan, Zübeyde Müge (2010-07-11) From agora of the polis, and open market places of medieval cities to today’s shopping malls, corporate plazas, atria and festival places, public spaces have been one of the crucial components of cities for centuries. Despite their evident importance in cities, public spaces have become subject to broad concern over the last three decades, particularly under the influence of globalisation and privatisation policies, city-marketing and imaging programmes and urban regeneration projects that have led to a sig...
Public Spaces of Post-industrial Cities and Their Changing Roles Akkar Ercan, Zübeyde Müge (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2007) From Agora of the polis, and open market places of Medieval cities to today’s shopping malls, corporate plazas, atria and festival places, public spaces have been one of the crucial components of cities for centuries. Despite their evident importance in cities, public spaces have become subject to broad concern for more than two decades (Francis, 1987; Carr et al., 1992; Tibbalds, 1992; Boyer, 1993; Crilley, 1993; Madanipour, 2000). Particularly under the influence of globalisation and privatisation policie...
Spaces by People: An Urban Design Approach to Everyday Life Cihanger Medeıros Rıbeıro, Duygu (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2018-6-28) The creative and transformative interaction between people and urban space is one of the foremost features of history. Along this path, urban design and designers necessarily take the responsibility to anticipate preferable living environments for the general public. However, within an urban context that is initially shaped by making-by-designing processes, people (re)transform their living environments by altering the premeditated built environment. This interaction exhibits concrete yet subtle examples of...
Evoking the city’s past, recollecting the citizen’s memory in a post-conflict urban setting: the case of Suriçi, Diyarbakır Kaya, Berçem; Severcan, Yücel Can; Department of City and Regional Planning (2021-1-06) In different historical period of times, cities are the subject of the dialectic between destruction and reconstruction. This destruction is threatening the socio-spatial, socio-political character of cities and daily life practices of the locals by destroying the physical setting of the place, which erase traces of the past. This process brings a memory loss in urban places, for the sake of converting the city into the place of dominant ideology or authority. For this reason, during reconstruction processe...
