Abstract:

Since the beginning of the 2000s, significant changes have occurred under the name of "city transformation" in the metropolitan city of Istanbul, and much more intense structures are made instead of destroyed residential areas. Thus, along with the density tissue of the city, the morphological structure is also significantly changing. While this change is positively welcomed by some people for reasons such as being "terrestrial resistant" and "modern architecture", the high intensity of the other group of architects and planners, the lack of equipment areas will become much more insufficient, many houses will be in a position that will not get the sun, etc. It is considered very worrying for reasons. From this point to move, work investigates the changes in Istanbul, especially in the housing areas, with the "tension" size and discusses how a picture is formed / will be formed in terms of population and structure intensity, which is one of the most important factors that determine the quality of life. In this direction, it aims to question how the "city transformation" practices that are being carried out in Istanbul differ from the existing tissue and how the intensity of the new applications that will last at least 60-70 years and how they evolve into a tissue. In addition, the current data of the relevant theoretical studies and other metropolitan cities are reviewed to understand whether or not this change is similar to other metropolitan cities, the theories presented to explain the concept of intensity in the definition of "city intensity" and planning literature are discussed. In this regard, the 6 sample projects selected to understand the intensity changes in residential areas in Istanbul and the new projects developed in earthquake-risk areas are being compared to the table, and evaluations on the possible distribution of intensity in the future are being made in Istanbul.
