Abstract

In many countries, urban policies and urban planning increasingly favor urban renewal more than new urban development. However, the urban renewal processes are challenging because of ‘land assembly’, ‘recovery of urban infrastructure’, and ‘social sustainability. The success of the urban renewal processes is closely related to these three key issues because they can affect directly social, economic, and political costs and time periods. The aim of the article analyzes approaches and their outcomes for three keys issues faced in urban renewal processes in the Turkish case. Such an analysis offers insight into policies that can help to overcome three key issues faced in urban renewal and to promote sustainable urban renewal.

Summary

Introduction

Urban policies and urban planning focus more on urban renewal than on the development of new areas. Encouraging land assembly (Turk and Demircioğlu, 2013), providing tax advantages (Adair et al.2003), increasing development rights (Tarakçı and Turk, 2021a) etc These incentives mean that the costs of the private sector decrease in urban renewal processes. Despite the incentives for urban renewal in urban areas, key issues such as 'land assembly', 'cost recovery of urban infrastructure' and 'social sustainability' make urban renewal a challenge when compared to the development of new areas. Approaches and results on key issues such as 'land assembly', 'cost recovery of urban infrastructure' and 'social sustainability' are critical in urban renewal practices. The fifth part of the article is devoted to general evaluation and conclusion
