Rationale: Why is this case study interesting?
The regeneration project of Suleymaniye is an ongoing process at the core district of Eminonu in Historical Peninsula of Istanbul under the authority of Local Administration of Istanbul. The Case study is focusing on emerging regeneration problematic of disregarding the existing problematic and reality of inhabitant at the area. In this case study, the aim is to analyze an ongoing regeneration process in Istanbul`s Suleymaniye district in order to improve proposals for a comprehensive regeneration process with a strong social dimension. The case study is aiming to combine the physical intervention with the revision of social dynamics by proposals for increasing the distribution of the benefit of regeneration to the all actors existing in Suleymaniye. Strengthening the Public participation and promoting the employability rate by means of reinforcing the local economic activities through the strategic partnership with private sector investors are some most important components of the case study. The objective is offering methods for healing the results of immigration and exile that occurred at the area through the time and increasing social integration and decreasing the rate of alienation by the regeneration process.
In accordance with the intention of Local Administration to return the regeneration process at the historic but slum area of the city, into a participatory, democratic and positive-sum game process; this case study is acting a key role by a comprehensive analysis of existing regeneration methodology and interventions. Thus, the results of the case study are expressions of dos and don`ts in order to share the opportunities of the process and enabling the social and spatial integration of the area to the Metropolitan City of Istanbul in Economical,spatial and cultural aspects.
A slum upgrade process can be somehow universally common urban regeneration intervention but the interestingly different through this case study. The biggest failure of the existing process can be in Suleymaniye Specific that can be observed as disregarding the potential of existing user in the area and the weak idea of re-integration of the area to the city whole in contrast with the definition of slum upgrading process. As an area that exists in the UNESCO world heritage sites list since 1985, local administration is in charge of taking into consideration the historic settlement regeneration definitions of UNESCO as vital guide, although this dimension is still appearing as a weakness in the ongoing process.
