Türkiye'S International Experience In Sustainable Urban Regeneration

Abstract

<p>This paper systematically explores T&uuml;rkiye&rsquo;s pathways for sustainable urban renewal amid frequent seismic disasters,focusing on institutional innovations and practical challenges driven by earthquake risks. With the National Urban Renewal StrategyDocument (2019) as its foundational framework, T&uuml;rkiye has established a two-phase approach of &ldquo;area identification and implementationadvancement&rdquo;. It designates renewal zones through specialized legislation and innovatively employs a &ldquo;reserved construction area&rdquo; modelto balance resettlement needs with land development. At the implementation level, three distribution models have emerged: contractbasedconstruction, shared construction, and mixed construction. Case studies illustrate that: Istanbul&rsquo;s Maltepe district adopted a realestate compensation agreement model based on individual units; Bağcılar district fell into a deadlock over consensus due to historicalpreservation and fragmented property rights, underscoring the complexity of coordinating multiple stakeholders; and &Uuml;sk&uuml;dar district aimsto build a sustainable, safe, and high-quality urban environment. T&uuml;rkiye&rsquo;s national urban renewal strategy articulates clear outcomes,objectives, standards, methods, and roles for urban renewal, offering valuable insights for China&rsquo;s urban renewal efforts.</p>
