Policy proposals, natural disasters, population increase, technological changes and social

and economic dynamics are all issues that contribute to the diverse development of a region. In

addition, in light of many distinguishing characteristics, cities still have a mechanism of

transition. Through the transition, the idea of gentrification has arisen in the city development

field, the effect of which would be to make the streets more sensitive, balanced in environment

and ecology, as well as to support greater integration. There are also a variety of negative and

divisive adverse effects of the gentrification project. Gentrification is a method of regeneration

and reconstruction of districts by constructing additional living spaces and modernist

architecture.

Challenge identification and site.

Dislocation of local residents as well as social, social and physical shifts are also frequent

occurrences, which in recent years have led to discussions about the actual consequences of

green gentrification. Using Istanbul, Sulukule as a test case, there is an illustration on the impact

and consequences of gentrification on people with a racial diversity. Sulukule, a Romani

neighborhood on the historic coastline of the outskirts of Istanbul, is defined as an urban

regeneration district. The main goal of the project was to develop a great urban climate for both

the occupants and citizens of the center of Istanbul. Sulukule is a large district in consideration of

being among the oldest Roma areas in Europe. As per the citizens and local occupants of the

area, the regeneration initiative poses a challenge to cultural survival by undermining the racial

traditions and social and economic context of the region. There are also several different

implications of the suburban gentrification initiative both for the residents and for the potential of

the district of Istanbul. One of the key issue of the green gentrification project has been that it is
pushing people to relocate to other areas and is impacting well-established entrants to live by

rising rent prices. The consequence has also a change in the image and culture of the region.

Analysis.

Green gentrification as an urban redevelopment project issue emerged due to the

concentration of publicity in Istanbul due to the promotion of tourism. Green gentrification

emerged in 2005, particularly with high expectations from the 2010 activity of the European

Capital of Culture (Kocabas & Michael 432). In order to better understand all the changes that

have taken place in the district of Sulukule, the region of Sulukule, it is important to clarify the

changes that have taken place from history to the present situation. Sulukule, a Romani

neighborhood on the historic Istanbul Peninsula, has been declared an urban regeneration district.

The Sulukule Urban Redevelopment Project is one of the recent attempts to offer a better urban

climate to international tourists and investors.

The project escalated the fight for property, causing dispossession, displacement and

demolition of the population. The needs and rights of residents are ignored. As a result, the

people of Sulukule began to resist regeneration and established an urban progressive movement

(Anguelovski et al. 1071). Before the Sulukule Urban Redevelopment project, the Sulukule

district had many full potential both socially and geographically. The morphology of the city was

made up of similar and environmental factors. Owing to its special character and characteristic

landscape as an essential part of its branding, the region was essential not only for the Romans,

but also for the region of Istanbul. It seeks to mediate or create a given identity for a particular

geographical region, and typically uses spatial concepts and unique architectural concepts that

characterize that position in the process. Location marketing practices thus intersect with space-

making activities such as: design, layout, city planning and urban growth, and also with the
cultural policies of shared identity and remembrance building through spaces impacting district

inhabitants. Centered on the methodological point of view on local marketing, for Sulukule, it is

apparent that amusement parks, active urban culture with neighborhood relationships, interaction

with art and the groove of Romani residents are the main elements to acquire reputation and to

have a recollection capable of displaying the significance of the region.

Existing in an urban community increases convenience and transportation services; that

is, reduces the range that residents have to travel to access facilities and activities and seeks

continue providing better walking, commuting, taxi and public transit options than in rural,

automobile areas. Communal planning decreases the time and money people will expend on

traveling, plus external travel costs that commuters impose on others, including parking and

traffic congestion, car park subsidies, collisions and pollution emissions (Can 12). In general, the

construction of public infrastructure and services tends to be more successful in compact

metropolitan areas, rendering them cheaper and more functional. Since urban environments are

generally very easy to navigate, people appear to be healthier in general.

Additionally, by rising property prices, gentrification can benefit financially residents

who own their properties, and city policies that allow larger populations for example allowing

plots to be segmented, or multi-family accommodation to substitute singular housing can lower

the cost of modern house building, which improves affordability for some families. Urban

development improves the economic opportunities of residents by growing local work

performance and minimize poverty levels. Inner cities have much better access to employment

than suburban ones, particularly for non-drivers. Urban renewal boosts community-based

business development, increases local financial growth and job opportunities. This is essentially

important for low-income citizens who focus on commuting and intermediary services. Lower-
income children benefit enormously from living in more combined communities; they are likely

to develop less violence and crime, have access to better facilities, and therefore have positive

role models.
