The economic and spatial vacancy after de-industrialization triggered the cities to capitalize on creative industries, which challenged the conventional dynamics of work and life in the urban sphere. Co-working spaces, homes and public spaces having emerged as new forms of workspaces – along with the urban environments being restructured as diverse ecosystems of high education, talent, vibrant cultural infrastructure and other services – are considered as the new landscape of the post-industrial city. The changing workspaces and urban experiences of creative labor are investigated in this study in Istanbul, which is the economic capital of Turkey, containing the majority of its creative workforce. Interviews are conducted in co-working spaces in Levent-Maslak, Sishane and Kadikoy neighborhoods where creative labor and their work / life environments locate densely. While the literature provides information about the creative labor’ work /life preferences and the places that attract the creative class, the wider socio-spatial associations of the new spatial dynamics of work in the urban context is an under-researched area. Regarding how remote work will affect urban geography, the work and life experiences of creative labor can be valuable for economic development in urban planning practices.

Being an interface between land and water, waterfronts are critical and most changed urban areas in maritime cities. Specifically port zones, which are the main concern of this study, have experienced a significant transformation period from industrial and port facilities to recreation and touris...
Imagineering: a model approach for futuristic design thinking in urbanism
Çalışkan, Olgu; Yavuz, Irmak (Thomas Telford Ltd., 2020-02-01)
Under the prevailing condition of uncertainty that postulates the impossibility of predicting the long-term future of the contemporary urban societies, spatial planning and design seemingly require new methodologies for an effective future perspective on the human settlements. Used to rely on forecasting as an extrapolation technique projecting no further than 15-20 years ahead in practice, the profession largely falls insufficient to suggest a forward-thinking approach, today. To transcend such settled 'sh...
Sustainability of urban regeneration in Turkey: Assessing the performance of the North Ankara Urban Regeneration Project
