Some Thoughts on Urban Renewal and Natural Disasters

Yurdanur Dülgeroğlu Yüksel

This study aims to shed some thoughts relating to the housing and earthquake issue in Istanbul, Türkiye. The study will examine decision-makers’ and housing policy designers’ approaches, tools, and strategies toward disaster risk in order to highlight and discuss the questions regarding disaster risk in megacities. The dynamics and nature of urban transformation and urban renewal with regard to disaster risk can be advantageous or not, depending on the interpretation and implementation of the relevant regulatory framework. The intention of the policies could be a good guide to follow throughout. The text is structured in three parts: (1) the urban renewal activities that have taken place for almost two decades, (2) the density issue generated by intense construction activities, and (3) the disaster policies and legal framework that requires revision into a workable plan. The three-part discussion will be made by primarily referencing the Zeytinburnu sub-municipal region in Istanbul and other regions secondarily as needed.

Keywords: Housing policy, urban renewal, disaster policies
