Www.tacvakfi.org.tr. APPLICATION OF THE URBAN REALMS MODEL TO ISTANBUL. Dr. Mehmet KARAKUYU Abstract The sprawling masses of cities like Los Angeles, Chicago and Istanbul, driven by car-culture, need a model that accounts for the car, mass transportation and, in Istanbul’s case, marine links. Urban realms model provides this descriptive and interpretive framework and replaces the models used to address the characteristically single-centered metropolis of prewar decades.
In the urban realms model, these urban realms are large selfcontained areas: within which a mix of land uses is such that daily life can be carried on without normal resort to external locations in other realms. There will always be a turning to other realms for some purposes by those living or working near the boundaries between realms.

Changing Poverty in Istanbul « Changing poverty in Istanbul: Scenes from the center and periphery June 27 & 28, 2009 Organizers: Alev Erkilet, Çağlar Aykaç, Didem Danış meeting point: Saturday, 9.30 am in front of the Londra Hotel Poverty has different manifestations in urban spaces.
In Turkish context, massive rural-to-urban migration led to the emergence of certain locations as spots of poverty. This study-trip aims to illustrate “sites of poverty” with a focus on two settlement areas: an inner city slum that hosts “bachelor rooms” of immigrant men (Süleymaniye in Eminönü) and a recently built social housing project in the periphery of the city (Bezirganbahçe in Küçükçekmece). Süleymaniye, which is located in the Historical Peninsula, was a very important place which housed statesman, bureaucrats and intellectuals’ residences (konak) during the Ottoman period.
Bezirganbahçe is a new collective housing project co-realized by TOKİ, İBB and the district municipality of Küçükçekmece. Like this: Like Loading...

Istanbul’s Gated Communities By Pelin Tan | Bidoun Magazine. Images by Solmaz Shahbazi According to urban myths surrounding Istanbul’s Tophane district, murder and robbery are common, walking around in the evening is unsafe, and prostitution and drugs are rampant. This neighborhood, where I happen to live, is an area of the city near the main cosmopolitan cultural centers of Taksim and Galata; its residents are primarily Gypsies, Arabs from Anatolia and Kurds.
Tophane represents the “Other” in the urban conscious of Istanbul’s residents; it is both uncanny and dangerous, a place to which urban cliches and notions of insecurity are readily attached. In The Architectural Uncanny, Anthony Vidler discusses the connection between “urban memory” and the city. Over the last century, the terms “city” and “metropolis” have referenced the utopias of cosmopolitanism-diversified communities and the participation in public space on a mass scale. Since the 1990s, many of Istanbul’s eastern and western peripheries have been privatized by local investors. Urban poor linger in shadow of Istanbul nouveau - Hurriyet Daily News and Economic Review. TURKEY tr-national ISTANBUL - Hürriyet Daily News | 10/1/2010 12:00:00 AM | LUIS GALLO Istanbul's growing profile as a 'global city' has enriched many, but threatens to further impoverish and disenfranchise some of its most vulnerable residents.
As the gap between rich and poor widens, experts warn of dangerous social consequences of ongoing urban development programs, calling on officials to adopt a more inclusive approach to planning As it basks in the glow of its year as a European Capital of Culture, Istanbul is rushing to take its place on the world stage, building sleek new high-rises, hosting global conferences and attracting robust foreign investment. But in the shadow of those skyscrapers, there is another Istanbul, a little-seen realm where the urban poor are coming face-to-face with the bulldozers clearing ground for the sparkling new city.
According to Karaman, one of the roots of the problem is the housing policies of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality.

Accession of Turkey to the European Union. Turkey's application to accede to the European Economic Community, a predecessor of the European Union (EU), was made on 14 April 1987. Turkey has been an associate member since 1963.[2] After the ten founding members, Turkey was one of the first countries to become a member of the Council of Europe in 1949, and was also a founding member of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 1961[3] and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) in 1973. The country has also been an associate member of the Western European Union since 1992, and is a part of the "Western Europe" branch of the Western European and Others Group (WEOG) at the United Nations. Turkey signed a Customs Union agreement with the EU in 1995 and was officially recognised as a candidate for full membership on 12 December 1999, at the Helsinki summit of the European Council.

Leave this with a good heart and cross the channel, the channel of Maeotis: and hereafter for all time men shall talk about your crossing, and they shall call the place Cow's-ford. (Bosporous/Βόσπορος) Leave Europe's mainland then, and go to Asia.” The cow that crossed the Bosphorus was actually the young lover of Zeus, Lo, who he turned into a beautiful white heifer to protect her from his jealous wife Hera. When Lo the cow comes upon Prometheus the titan where he has been chained to a rock by Zeus, knowing his ability to read the future, she asks him what the extent of her journey will be. 3 Map of Istanbul 1838 The body that divides the East from the West, Europe from Asia, the Bosphorus, has always defined the character of the city, spanning 3,700 m to 700 m at its narrowest, and 30 km long. 4 Proposal 1860.
