| dc.description.abstract | Giving priority to economical development in planning process ends up with losing ecological and natural values of cities and also exposes social problems related to implementation decisions. Day by day, cities have faced losing green capacity because of defective planning decisions and government policies. Likewise, contemporary urban planning practices focus mainly land cover based socio-economic decision making under the impact of strong settlement competitiveness of global trends ignoring socio-ecological dynamics in this process. Meanwhile, rapidly growing metropolitan areas of Turkey have dilemmas between sustainable urban growth and urban ecology. Nowadays, Istanbul is experiencing disturbing and devastating urban planning and design practices including the loss of natural green areas. Due to mega projects in Istanbul, green areas are under threat of transforming to gray areas. At the same time, in urban development process, man-made environments become poor areas which design regardless of age, gender, socio economic level or race. At this point, critical question is that if there is no regulation related to “natural and artificial green planning”, how cities can conduct its sustainability and liveability while maintain its identity and social variety. Undoubtedly, it is essential to response the question of what role the regulation of green or/and open areas play in identifying quality of life in Istanbul as well as what role open spaces play in our social life. | |
