NEOLİBERAL YENİDEN ÖLÇEKLENME ETKİSİ ALTINDA TÜRKİYE’DE KENTLEŞME POLİTİKASININ DÖNÜŞÜMÜ
THE TRANSFORMATION OF URBANIZATION POLICY IN TURKEY UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF NEOLIBERAL RESCALING

Summary/Abstract: In the last two decades, under the influence of various factors from global climate change to migration waves, economic and social transformation waves and to rapid technological advancement, different policy preferences are being discussed in the whole world to redefine urbanization process. It can be said that, among these options, urban policy affected by the neoliberal ideology came to fore as the dominant one. Such an option for urban policy became visible through legitimization of a series of applications related to make urban space a direct instrument of capital accumulation and restructuring of state’s spatial scale. It is seen that implementation of these kind of policies in Turkey brought about a dual policy structure. While on the one hand side, participatory and comprehensive policy making schemes have been realized in line with the notion of governance, via pragmatic approaches and large urban projects that are incoherent with these policy-making processes, urban space is rendered a possible association with capital accumulation process.
