Dealing with rapid development: Creation of the informal urban economy and gecekondu housing in Istanbul

摘要

The late emergence of national industries in Turkey in the 20th century created various challenges for the country\u27s development, including architecture and urbanization. With reference to Lefebvre\u27s notion that \u22politics\u22 has the \u22privilege to embrace\u22 the spheres of architecture, urbanism, planning, and the economy, this study analyzes the spread of the informal economy and informal gecekondu housing in Istanbul by making connections to the outcomes of the political and economic shifts in the post-World War II period in Turkey.
