| description | Cities are trying to adapt to the rapidly changing global trends by
regenerating themselves. Approaches and practices of this regeneration are
different in several countries. In big Turkish cities, particularly in the
past decade, urban regeneration practices, processes and consequences have
sparked several debates. The ‘new’ gained or converted spaces in the city are
also significant in terms of their impacts on urban identity. In this
context, this study aims to identify the impacts of urban regeneration, which
occurred in historical city centres, on urban identity in the case of Turkey.
The study determines general framework of urban regeneration and then defines
a conceptual framework of urban identity. It focuses on urban regeneration
projects in the case of Turkey. Then, the topic is explored through two case
studies which are selected from Turkey, Istanbul and Bursa. The findings of
the study indicate that there are several problematic aspects of urban
regeneration. The findings also show that urban identity was ignored in urban
regeneration projects, which caused significant breaks in the context of
physical, cultural, historical and semantic continuity. |
