RE-INVESTIGATION OF URBAN GROWTH DYNAMICS IN
THE FRAMEWORK OF CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS

Gamze KAZANCI ALTINOK

ABSTRACT
The relationship between urban growth dynamics and climate change is revealed in this study. The
driving forces of urban growth are discussed with the literature review and each input that is effective
in urban growth is examined in terms of its effects on climate change. Spatial, economic, social and
environmental evaluations were made by examining the urban growth approach and strategies of
international institutions that both define the limits and forms of growth and work on climate change,
such as OECD and IPCC, which stand out on global scale with two-stage literature review. In the se-
cond part of the literature review, studies on urban growth and climate change in Turkey are presented.
In the conceptual framework, it has been revealed how urban growth policies should be shaped in the
context of climate change through both international and national publications.
In the findings of the study, the importance of land-use policies, the existence of unstructered/natural/
sensitive areas, the inclusion of local governments and the revision of growth policies according to the
changing local climate change impacts were emphasized. In this study, which is a discussion article, it
has been mentioned the impacts of climate change should be taken into account with urban growth
policies, similarly in the evaluation of Turkey made by examining the documents and documents re-
lated to the subject. Since the study reveals the relationship between climate change and urban growth
dynamics, it is predicted that it can present a unique roadmap for Turkey in the development of cli-
mate change adaptation policies.
