should be planned and implemented in accordance with the needs of the
local population. In addition, during urban transformation projects, the
participation and opinions of local people should be taken into consideration
and they should be included in the project process.
Finally, from an economic point of view, urban transformation projects
should support economic sustainability. At this point, it is important that urban
transformation projects create new employment areas, support economic
growth and promote regional development. Based on this, improving existing
urban transformation practices, using urban transformation more effectively
in lower-scale plans, and making urban transformation processes and actors
more defined stand out as an important requirement. The goals, strategies
and actions set out in the context of urban transformation within the scope of
the SSP of Türkiye have the potential to put forward the basis that will respond
to this requirement.
