Urban transformation applications

Abstract

In this study, urban transformation practices are discussed within the scope of renewal, arrangement and development activities of existing buildings under natural disasters and accompanying risks. The problems and deficiencies experienced in practice were examined specifically in Osmaniye city center. Urban transformation has important benefits in terms of public interest and public health. It also increases the comfort levels of city dwellers through urban planning and infrastructure improvements. Despite its many positive effects on disaster-resistant city planning and the priority of life and property safety, it is sometimes possible to encounter very bad examples as a result of incorrect or incomplete applications. When the applications carried out in Osmaniye city center were examined, it was seen that island-based large-scale transformations were more accurate in terms of time, cost and environmental order compared to partially smaller and parcel-based on-site transformations.
