A COMPARATIVE STUDY IN URBAN REGENERATION PROCESS

This book is based on my M.Sc. Thesis Study
accomplished at METU in 2002. This comparative study
is focused on urban regeneration process in which
local characteristics and global framework with
respect to the periods show differences both in
World and Turkey and in which is operated by a
specific politico-economic motive for urban planning
and design approach. This study analyzes the urban
regeneration process in inner-city (historic) areas
in order to discover the rationale behind the
process, and to figure out the parallelism
(similarities and differences) between the World and
Türkiye. The basic argument is that; the politico-
economic motive in the urbanization process produces
specific urban planning and design approaches in
urban regeneration process for the inner-city
(historic) areas. Therefore, there can be both
similarity and difference between cities in terms of
urban growth and change as well as urban
regeneration process due to the political idea and
economic model in different contingencies with
respect to the period.
