Gaziantep in Turkey. Recently, old urban center restoration and a new wave of
museum centered city life have emerged as a salient phenomenon of the daily
lives of the city dwellers. This article explores the notions of cosmopolitan
and entrepreneurial city with its potentials of distinction. Drawing on
theoretical work concerning the concept of cosmopolitan and entrepreneur city
genre that has proliferated in recent years, the article will explore the
characteristics of this genre and new forms of inequalities.

Kozmopolit ve Girişimci Kent Kimlikeri üzerinden Gaziantep’in Yeniden Tasavvuru

Öz

Bu makalede Gaziantep’te kent kimliğinin kültürel üretimi üzerinde
durulacaktır. Son yıllarda kentte eski kent merkezi restore edilirken yeni bir
müze merkezli şehir hayatı kent sakinlerinin günlük yaşamlarında göze çarpan
bir fenomen olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu makalede, kozmopolit ve girişimci
kent kavramları ve bu olgunun ayrıştırıcı potansiyeli üzerinde durulacaktır.
Yakın dönemde öne çıkan kozmopolit ve girişimci kente ilişkin kuramsal
çalışmalardan yola çıkarak, kozmopolit ve girişimci kent janrın özellikleri ve
kentteki yeni eşitsizlik biçimleri incelenecektir.

Anahtar Kelimeler
