Urban regeneration strategies for supporting social sustainability of Roma community: Izmir-Ege neighbourhood urban regeneration project
Urban regeneration greatly affect marginalized groups both across the world and in Turkey and therefore it is a hot topic in the public discussions of urban context. One of those marginalized groups are Roma communities. Their neighborhoods, particularly inner urban areas, face social and physical decay due to discrimination against Roma communities. To address these social and physical problems, urban regenerations projects have been launched in Turkey in the name of improving life standards of Roma citizens. However, implementations could not go further than improving physical conditions of the neighborhood. Social, economic and environmental aspects of the regeneration projects have been ignored. Also, inhabitants could not be part of the urban regeneration projects and decision making process. These deficiencies caused gentrification of society. These widespread implementations and their outcomes bring out question of how to prevent gentrification on Roma community. Therefore, this study aims to analyze urban regeneration project in Ege neighborhood in Izmir from Henri Lefebvre’s right to the city concept In doing so, the study draws its data from 102 questionnaires and 9 interviews. The study first analyses the extent Ege neighborhood urban project enables the inhabitants to use and access their right of city. Then, it proposes a participation model to prevent gentrification caused by urban regeneration models.
